The new Calendar for 2012 is now included below.

A new book by Albert Low.
"Our times cry out for a new worldview; at present, our conception of the world leaves us without coherence, meaning, purpose or value. In 'I am, therefore I think, theauthor, Dr. Albert Low, presents a new worldview empowering humans to act in a different, more constructive, less competitive and obsessed way."

We will be having the end of year celebration as usual this year. The evening begins at 8.00 and ends at 12.00 midnight, after seeing in the New Year. Many find this a moving and meaningful ceremony. Please do come along if possible.
If you intend to come, let us know before Dec 28th by e-mail, a phone call or by leaving a message in the treasury box. We need to know in order to be able to plan the evening.

I need to find a new home before April. I would like to buy a small condo or a modest property, not too far
from the Center. Anyone who can link me to people, infos etc is more than welcome to do so. I am also willing
to participate to a collective endeavor. Maximum (if alone to buy) : $160,000. Thanks.

A NEW BOOK!
What Am I ? The Heart Sutra for Everyone.
What strange things the Prajnaparamita Hridaya says! A
young Buddhist acolyte put his finger on this strangeness
when he complained to his teacher, “I have an eye,
ear, nose, tongue, body and mind, so why does the Prajnaparamita
Hridaya say that I do not?”
