Buddhist Society events and Facebook Group

Dear members,

1. The next Meditation Class will take place as usual on Monday, 8
October, at 6 pm, at Schwenk room, on the first floor of Burlington
Rooms. Burlington Rooms are above the Vegetarian Cafe, on your right
hand side if you stand facing John Rylands Library (the main Library
of the University), in Burlington Street.

Chris, our meditation teacher, will be happy to take reports about
your individual practice (that you have hopefully been doing at
home), after the group practice.

Tea and biscuits will be provided as usual.

2. Engaged Buddhism

I am sure that in the past few days we have all been concerned with
the Situation in Burma.

There are two actions you can take to support people of Burma: sign a
petition and join the demonstration in London on the 6th of October.
