here to see photograph album
The Buddhist Relic Tour was a great success on it's 1st visit to Africa. More than 2000 people visited Lam Rim Centre in Johannesburg to see the relics. There was a great sense of peacefulness and gentleness on every person’s face as they left the centre.
I am still assimilating the experience and sense it's going to take many weeks to do this. Somehow words are not flowing now - though the eyes do! I am grateful that Gien has written about his experiences

“Now is the time!”
I remember that power filled South African liberation cry!
It always applies.
Change is still imperative
I remember the days
when South Africans decided to bow to no one,
except Liberation…
Change requires
one not to be lethargic
- not to be a mere arm chair talker
I would so love Bishop Tutu for president! What an amazing being he is!
It's not such a crazy idea to have a holy man as president
- the Tibetans do...
maybe some day people will realise this is the way to go
- and have a president with real heart morality.
May all beings practice love and compassion.
