| Rinpoche's Message About Tibet Action | | | |
In the past it has been FPMT policy to not provide comment or political actions on regarding the Chinese occupation of Tibet. Such actions were left for individuals to pursue.

Geshe Pema Tsering has blessed us with his presence at Buddha House since 2001 and has kindly accepted our request to offer a Long Life Puja in April this year. A Long Life Puja for one's teacher is not a trivial affair. It requires extensive preparation, and substantial costs are involved. Please help to preserve this profound tradition at Buddha House.

| BUDDHAS BOWL – WOMADELAIDE March 7-9, 2008 | | | |
 Hello all, where did that year go? Time again to start planning our major fundraising event. I am counting on all previous volunteers (and hopefully lots of new ones) to sign up and ensure the stall's success. Put it in your diary, book some time off work, use up some sick leave whatever you have to do to be there and join the fun. Due to the enormous growth of the stall, this year veg chop will be held over 2 days - Wed and Thurs leaving Fri for preparing the stall for service.
