One of the great benefits of being a member at Buddha House is the ability to borrow for our extensive library on Buddhism. Over time, however, some books can be inadvertently misplaced. If you've forgotten to return something (or perhaps it's embarassingly overdue) now is a good time to do so. Have a look through your bookcase, and you can return any overdue borrowed books to the center, without any question or comment.

A unique and precious collection of more than 1000 sacred Buddhist relics will be permanently displayed in the Heart Shrine of the completed Maitreya Buddha statue in Kushinagar. Meanwhile, it is the wish of the Spiritual Director of the Maitreya Project, Lama Zopa Rinpoche, that the collection should travel throughout the world to bring the blessings of the relics and the message of loving-kindness to people everywhere.

Bushwalk Leader Sought.

Aini Bowering is founder of the monthly BH Bush Walking Group and has been leading these popular trail hikes for the past 15 years. Aini started the group as an initiative to help generate a greater sense of community involvement amongst BH members and visitors.

“Many significant and enduring friendships have been forged during the course of the hours spent sharing the various trails we've covered during our fifteen year journey. Not one month has been missed in all that time, even when I couldn't personally lead a walk. The group has always been filled with a spirit of happiness and genuine fun” stressed Aini.

Sadly, Aini is no longer able to do extensive walking, because of difficulties with one knee. This month's walk will be the last under Aini's leadership.

The Group is seeking a new leader to help continue this popular long time tradition for Buddha House. Anyone wishing to do so, should contact the BH office on 8333 2824 or reply with an email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
