Click on the images below to read the program prepared by Drukpa Plouray which shows the latest schedule for activities at Druk Amitabha Mountain in December.

After visiting the elderly patients of the ‘forgotten ward’ at St Mary’s hospital in Paddington last Sunday we decided to go more often, since it is during the week that many of these patients are most in need of visitors.

So we have arranged to go this Wednesday (July 30th) afternoon and evening, at the following times:

4 pm - 5 pm
5 pm - 6 pm
7 pm - 8 pm

Please email us here to let us know if you want to join us and which slot you can make. We will then give you a contact number to make sure that you meet up with the group.

We hope that many of you will be able to join us in this Live To Love activity.

best wishes

Some of you may have heard already that we have to leave our premises in Audley Square at short notice. The reason is that the building owners have increased the rent so the current leaseholder has no option but to surrender the lease. We always knew that our stay at Audley Square would be temporary (we were told between 6 months and 2 years) but, as usual with these situations, we all assumed it would go on a bit longer.

Following His Holiness’s instructions we have already started the search for new premises to rent and we will keep everybody informed of the progress on this. If anyone hears of anything that may be suitable please let us know.

In the meantime we would like to invite everybody to celebrate the last tsok in Audley Square (Chenrezig & Amitabha practice) this coming Wednesday June 18th, starting at 7 pm. This day is especially auspicious as it is also the anniversary of Buddha Shakyamuni’s enlightenment and so we hope that many of you will be able to attend on this occasion and make wishes together for the swift manifestation of the next premises.

The actual packing up and moving out will take place on the following weekend, on the 21st and 22nd June, and we would appreciate as much help as possible with this task. This will mainly involve lifting and carrying so please come prepared for this, but the less able bodied amongst us are also welcome to help with jobs like cleaning and tea making etc ! Email us here to join in.

We are planning a new activity for this month’s Live to Love group activity. There is a ward at St Mary’s hospital in Paddington where many of the elderly patients receive few or no visits. We have been given permission by the hospital administrators to go along as a group this Sunday to keep these patients company during the afternoon visiting hours. We are meeting at Starbucks in Paddington Rail Station at 14:45 on Sunday. If you would like to come along, please email here to let us know you are coming, and also if you need a contact mobile telephone number to ensure you meet up with the group.
