TASHI DELEK! From the Trustees
TO ALL OUR MEMBERS AND FRIENDS
 
Thanks to everybody who helped look after Lama Lekshey, especially Lynda and Prem who both worked tirelessly and to everybody who attended the Teachings.
Lama Lekshey will be back in Bournemouth for a week on 7th November, hopefully accompanied by Lama Thubten!
The Trustees have had plans drawn up to build an extension on the front of the Centre. If the planning application is successful with Bournemouth Council, we will be able to accommodate up to 120 people! We anticipate costs of £25,000 so please be generous and dig deep so that we can make this happen.
Vedant, Richard, Jill and Liz

ACCUMULATE MERIT

We are asking members of our Sangha if they would be willing (if they have room) to accommodate Lamdre students from 18th July to 18th August, 2007. We have already had enquiries for single and couple accommodation from New Zealand, Canada and Holland! Have some fun and earn £80 a week for Bed and Breakfast.
Please call Sue on: 01202 483110

CENTRE VOLUNTEER WORK DAY

There will be a Volunteer Workday on Sunday 22nd October 2006 from 11.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m. We do this twice a year in the Spring and Autumn to ensure the upkeep of the Centre. We will be cleaning, tidying and painting where necessary both inside and outside of the Centre. There will then be a general meeting for members at 4.00 p.m. that day.

Join us for lunch where we all bring a contribution. If you can spare a few hours, we would welcome your help. It's also a good opportunity to get to know other members and gain some merit in the process!

A list will be available at the Centre for you to sign up.

MEDITATION AFTERNOON

Every so often we need to take time out of our busy lives and just "be". Take advantage of the calming environment of the Centre and practice sitting and walking meditation for the afternoon. We maintain silence during the afternoon but take time out for tea! The times are:

Sunday 29th October 2006 2.30 to 5.30 p.m. and
Sunday 26th November 2006 2.30 to 5.30 p.m.
