Prayers for Earthquake Victims
Dear members, students and friends of Karma Samten Choeling,
As you have probably all heard, there has been a terrible earthquake tragedy of high proportions in North India and Nepal.... This terrible occurrence has devastated the area, leaving many dead, injured, in pain and homeless.
The trauma and suffering can only be imagined by those of us who are in our comfortable homes away from the area.
If there one thing a natural disaster reminds us of, is that this human life is very fragile. The built and amassed reality we have gathered around us can be destroyed In a split second. We are connected as a global family ŌĆō every being is connected to every other being, regardless of any supposed boundaries we may designate on our shared Mother Earth.
Please consider this ŌĆō If today was the last day of your life, would you be truly content with who YOU are within? If not, then the sobering thought may be to begin immediately working towards becoming what we wish to be; not the wealthiest or most beautiful or most acclaimed, but the true living, breathing manifestations of all higher powers.
Please send your deepest prayers of peace and kindest wishes to the multitude of beings affected by this earthquake, and all other disasters.
thank you Willow Mackay Secretary Karma Samten Choeling

URGENT UPDATE: The Losar/Chinese New year celebration will be held at: 53 Calmsley Place, Horsley Park 2175.
There will be a Chenrezig practice at the Centre at 11am on Sunday 22nd February 2015 and you can make light offerings during the day to welcome in Losar and the Chinese New Year. We hope you can find time to join us at the Centre.

Happy Losar and Chinese New Year 2015
Tibetan New year, also known as Losar, is the most important festival in the Tibetan calendar. Tibetan New Year is said to last 15 days, but the first 3 days are most important. This year the Chinese New Year also coincides with Losar. 2015 will be the year of the sheep.
People born in this year are said to be honest, affectionate and have great compassion for others.
... 2014 had been a busy and challenging year for the committee. Through the kindness and initiative of His Holiness 17th Gyalwang Karmapa, our Centre hosted the Fourth Australian Monlam. We are again grateful to our teacher Venerable Dekhung Gyaltsey Tulku Rinpoche for his hard work and peerless guidance in this event and numerous dharma activities during the year.
On behalf of the committee I would like to offer our sincere gratitude and appreciation for the diligence and enthusiasm of all those who have assisted and participated in our events.
We dedicate the merit from these activities to peace and harmony in the world and for the longevity and enduring success of the endeavours of His Holiness Karmapa and our precious Rinpoche wherever they may go. May all beings swiftly attained the unsurpassed qualities of compassion, wisdom and skilful means and reach Buddhahood for the benefit of others.
To all our friends around the world I would like to encourage you all to observe a minute of silence at the beginning of Losar and Chinese New Year in quiet remembrance of the ones we have lost. LetŌĆÖs remind ourselves of the many who have faced tragic events and endured much suffering. We pray that they may take rebirth in higher realms and continue on the spiritual path to enlightenment.
We hope that 2015 will be a spectacular year for everyone, particularly in your travel on the Dharma path.
There will be a Chenrezig practice at the Centre at 11am on Sunday 22 February 2015 and you can make light offerings during the day to welcome in Losar and the Chinese New Year. We hope you can find time to join us at the Centre.
Once again Karma Samten Choeling wishes all members, friends and beings a happy and prosperous (dharma filled) Tibetan and Chinese New Year.
With metta, Albert Loo President on behalf of Karma Samten Choeling
