Well, it's been well over a month since I returned from Amida France. Time flies with the swiftness of an arrow. I feel that I am some kind of time vortex. I have a list of things that I keep meaning to do and then all of a sudden, it's days/weeks later! I'm learning to live with loose ends, I'm realising that it's just not possible to have everything all tied up nice and neatly.
I had a great time up in Newcastle, catching up with old friends. Thank you to Rachel and Michael for putting me up and to Claire too. It was great to see everyone, Lucy, Jacqui, Matty, Dawn and Ste. And the Amida Newcastle group as well, Sujatin and Colin. I had a great time catching up with my family in Liverpool, very sweet.
Life in The Buddhist House is going very nicely. I'm part of the outreach team organising book promotion activities for Dharmavidya and Prasada. Prasada will be visiting Reading 27th to 30th May and giving teachings. She will be giving a talk to Reading Inter Faith Group on the Nature of Faith in Pureland Buddhism and how it relates to other Faiths on the 30th May at the Friends Meeting House at 7.30. Other events to be confirmed.
Sandy has been staying with us and left for Oxford this morning to support Joan Court, who's doing a hunger strike in Oxford. Sandy is supporting Joan and the Vervet Monkey Foundation
It's been a while... Too long really since I last visited my neglected blog. I'm back and have lots to tell from the past month. I'm in the UK now, back at The Buddhist House in Narborough and am catching up with the forthcoming book events for the launch of Dharmavidya's and Prasada's new books: The Other Buddhism; Who Loves Dies Well.
