BUDDHA: Teachings by Mr Lama




Since I've got the gall to name this list after Shakyamuni (*), I figure I 
should pump the occasional bit of Buddhist news and doctrine your way.

Anyone up for a trip to India mid-year?

Oh, but wait! He's doing the Kalachakra in SYDNEY in SEPTEMBER! 

Read on... Let me know if you're going....

Tim.
