竹巴香港为”存为爱”十一月及十二月份第三个星期天的活动

为回应法王极力主将能够拨出每月第三个星期天从事”存为爱”的活动.香港僧众亦在十一月份组织了一次放生活动及在十二月份探访了一间不牟利注册组织”国际十字路会”做了一次义工活动.这个组织是收集各方捐赠品然后再重新分配运送往本地及外国有需要人仕 (http://www.crossroads.org.hk).在廿OO八年我们为实行”存为爱”内之五精粹,继续用这简单而有效的方法安排不同活动去帮助本地团体.

Carp Appeal Report

THANK YOU DEAR HOLINESS, THROUGH YOUR GREAT WISH TO HELP BEINGS YOU
INSPIRE US TO HELP!

Dear friends,

Thank you so much for your kind support with the carp appeal. Unfortunately, it was not possible to help the fish directly by freeing them into fresh water: after consulting with specialists and related organizations appealing for the humanitarian treatment of animals we became aware that it is not advisable to free the carps in this way.

Impressions from a very fulfilling day

Live to Love
Dear Holiness,
We are so grateful for this big chance.
It was also a big teaching in The Four Immasurable Thoughts.

Thanks Buddha!
Thanks Dharma!
Thanks Sangha!

We all have learned a lot, laughed, felt
and are filled with great gratitude!

Rigdzin Dölma – Agnes and me decided to bring
the all year ritual into
your Life to Love Activity.

We told some old students of healing about it
and also some patients.

Some of them will come the first time to you
in January to Hofheim.

What a result!

So many presents where brought into the healing center.

Sleeping bags, pullover, socks, muffler, gloves and foot
and some christmas cookies too.
Most wrapped up into nice paper.

Since a few years it is difficult situation for our homeless
sisters & brothers in Hamburg.
The senate has determinated ” a clean Townscape”
a few years ago & police troops are again & again sending
this poor people away from the places, where they could
collect a little money.

In that way, they have been new laws,
which determine the duty for dogs to wear a chip.
But that the animal loving people.
who haven’t got a home, can’t affort.
So they are being pushed further away to the outskirts,
where they have almost no chance, to beg a collection.

Shining eyes and faces…

Sheperd without work.
Sheperd without work.
He comes from the east of germany, called Mecklenburger
Land.
He and his friend are living in the woods.
He use to come in the wintermonth , on Saturday, into the
city, to collect money, for himself, his friends and his animals
- sheeps & dogs -.
The little white one at the wall was the first time exposed to
artificial light & the hustle of the city.
He shivered and was very frightend.
Following the conservation, we got to know, that the sheperd
wanted to leave the last and smallest one of the brood.
Anke & Christian (he is squatting oppsite of the sheperd)
took the little shepered dog.
So much happiness !

Christian had to make the decision on his own, because
his partner Anke, was in Münster to work.
But it was clear, that it was welcome.

Little Indra & his Mother.

Agnes - Rigzin Dölma, gives love & energie

Adresses where exchanged. Adrianne likes to visit the friendly men

Saxophonist gives melodies of joy. WHO IS THE ONE GETTING PRESENTS ?

Ilka offers the policewomen some Christmas cookies. She declines laughing. Police are not allowed to receive presents. But a small, friendly talk was possible through that.

A wonderful lady, who is handicapped & gets a very small pension. Sometimes she puts, when it is really tight, a bowl on the street.

Live to Love Appeal from Poland

Live to LoveBe a sponsor and save lives!

Dear Dharma friends,

It is a tradition in Poland to eat fish, carp *, for Christmas eve supper, and it is a custom to buy that fish alive; so a few days before Christmas, the shops and street markets start selling it. It is often kept in appalling conditions; too many fishes in too small containers with not enough water, in same cases they are even packed alive into plastic carrier bags, for a long journey home etc. etc. They go through horrific suffering before death .
We are organizing an appeal in Poland, to buy back still alive and healthy fishes and release them into a fresh water lake. We will also have a stand, with information leaflets, to bring some awareness of they suffering to others. We hope that you will support this action and fulfill His Holiness’s wish which is to help others through a ‘Live To Love’ action.
You can sponsor one fish, or as many as you wish, and we let them free in your name.
Please send us an email with your name and your country and how many fishes you would like to save from this slow and painful death.
It would be most economical if you send money as a group from your center.
One fish weighs between 1 to 3 kilos,
1kg costs .15 PLN – 4.11 EURO

*Carps are large and beautiful fishes, they are of the same kind as in a lake Tso Pema, where His Holiness Gyalwang Drukpa was born.
