I was not able to attend the gathering on Thursday. Is anything planned for thi9s weekend in the way of a peaceful protest? I am Buddhist also of the Theravada practice. I have sent emails to friends around the world and would like to know of any peaceful (perhaps Buddhist) protests.
Please let me know
cheers

As part of being an ‘engaged Buddhist’ I am sending out a weekly email to people on my contact list around the world. At present it is dealing with the Burma tragedy, but will touch upon other world situations where expressing Metta (Loving Kindness) and Compassion might cause people to think! I am not an expert or a journalist (nurse actually),I am just a small person in a big world, but will try to make a difference. if anyone wants to be on my mailing list, please let me know. Raising consciousness is important.

Please note: New Mandala encourages vigorous debate. However, for the moment we will only be publishing high-quality comments that make original contributions to discussion. There will, of course, still be space for pithy, humorous, eccentric and cheeky input. Short and sweet will usually trump long and involved. Repetitive ranting, unimaginative point-scoring and idle abuse will not be entertained. Comments which carry a real name are also more likely to be approved.
