[ULUBUDA] This Week's Events

[Alastair Gornall]

Hey guys,
 
Here is a quick update of this week's events. Further details for the Thai temple trip on Saturday will be provided later in the week.
 
 
Today- Monday 15th
 
A Talk by Shyla Bouer from LKPY
 
WHO?
LKPY (Loving Kindness Peaceful Youth) is an international peace organisation for young people, set to launch in the middle of 2007.
There are many peace and youth organisations out there, but what makes us different is our perception of peace. We don’t view peace as just the absence of war. LKPY believes peace comes from the individual - it’s about changing our way of ‘thinking and doing’ to a more serene approach to: ourselves; to others and the environment.
We aim to include everyone…
All faiths, non-faiths, cultures, sizes, shapes, colours, backgrounds and ages. Even though we say youth, we just mean young thinking. When people are young they tend to think differently, they are inspired to make a difference, make changes and they are passionate about the place they live in and surrender to old age habits.
There is a saying “a waterfall starts from just one drop of water”…LKPY believes “Peace starts from just one person”.

Thai temple visit- Saturday 20th
 
Buddhapadipa temple is a Thai temple and the first Buddhist temple to be built in the UK. It is famous for its architecture and classical Thai design. Also the traditional murals in the main shrine room are great works of art. 
 
During this trip members can expect to participate in or view a traditional offering of food and clothes to the monks at the temple by ULUBUDA (feel free to bring donations).
 
Also, there will be a talk given by the experienced monk, Ajahn Sangthong. He can also answer your questions on Buddhism. 
 
We may also participate in a meditation at the temple.

 
Details of arrangments will be sent in the next few days.



 
Thanks to all those who came to Jamyang Tibetan Buddhist Centre yesterday, it was a great day!
 
See you all soon,
Best wishes,
Alastair
