Here in NZ it is 11.48pm Friday 2nd. I guess that isn't much use to you over
there. We have a neat video of a TV team trekking all the way to the valley
high in the Himalayas to film part of the Wesak festival so we intend to show
it at 8pm, have a cuppa and then meditate for as long as people want. We have
spread the word in town and put it over the radio so I will be interested to
see how many turn up. I am looking forward to a good meditate.
Liesel, when we have done with it I have arranged a copy for you. Sh..sh..
Regards
