The reading for this week is from
  "The Dalai Lama's book of Wisdom"
  Since we all have an equal right to be happy and since we are all linked to one another, no matter how important an individual is, logically the interest of the other 5 billion people on the planet, is more important than that of one single person.  By thinking along these lines, you can eventually develop a sense of global responsibility.  More that environmental problems, such as the depletion of the ozone layer, also clearly shows us the need for world cooperation.  It seems that, with development, the whole world has become much smaller, but the human consciousness is still lagging behind.      Anita Mann, BSW

Thanks to all who attended the Buddha house this Saturday for dharma with Geshe Yong Dong! It was a very full house and a great dharma talk on "Finding peace and happiness from the inside". I really enjoyed all of the talk, learning the mantra "Ah Om Hung" and chanting for the sentient beings in Japan which I hope we will all continue to do! Thank you to all that contributed with your work and your presence! Julie
