Live to Love in the Black Forest

Dear Sangha,

for the third sunday in january, I organized an afternoon in an old-peoples-home for them, who have no more relatives or don`t get any visit.
The leader was very happy about this idea and organized coffee and cake and I organized two musicians who played old folk-songs which the people know very well from their younger days and joined in singing and dancing. I think they were quite happy and a circle of giving and taking took place because flowers were given to me as a thank for organising that and I gave some money and presents to the musicians who actually didn`t like to take anything. We will repeat this regularly, which makes me very happy.

Lots of love to all the Sangha-members all around the world from Jigme Päldrön from Germany

Live To Love – Drukpa Penang on 27 Jan 2008

We of Drukpa Penang know that we were suppose to kick off LIVE TO LOVE every 3rd Sunday of the month but some of us were not free so we could only start on 27th January 2008, we thought it would be better late than not at all!

Initially we were not sure how to begin and what to do so were actually flipping through daily newspaper to see whether there are any cases reported where we could approach to help. Then we thought of a friend who is a member of Tzu-Chi Buddhist Merit Society of Penang. We asked if we could help in any of their charity mission or relief work. We were then referred to the case of Mr. K.Harinam, aged 64 who is in desperation for help to meet his basic means.

Without much hesitation, we informed all the members of Drukpa Penang that we will kick off Live To Love on Sunday 27th Jan. On that day, nine of us gathered at the centre and made our way to the address given by Tzu-Chi. Upon finding the house, all of us were kind of surprise that it was quite a nice house he was staying in and hence couldn’t stop wondering whether we got the right house. A young girl who led us to see Mr. K. Harinam greeted us.

Live to Love - video excerpt

„Live to love“, January 2008 in Hamburg, Germany.

A small, cheerfull group of „Live-to-love“-Inspired-Ones, we were eleven, meeting at the Main station in a typical Hamburg rainy weather, subtle but penetrating. We were carrying baskets, bags and pouches full of titbits, like hot lentilsoup, sandwiches, little paperbags full of delicacys, homemade cherrycake, juice, water, coffee, coke, chocolates, cookies …

Update from the UK Sangha

The London-based UK sangha has been holding meetings on Live to Live Sundays
so that those not yet engaged in Live to Love activities on that day can
exchange ideas and update each other on our progress. Here in London there
are literally thousands of community volunteering opportunities covering
many situations where people need help e.g. working with the elderly, the
sick, the homeless, children in need etc - practically anything you can
think of where people need help.
