As ever, the food was wonderfully spicy and the people serving at Little India, were courteous and helpful. Some thank yous; The Buddha for showing The Path, Geshela for teaching it and Celia for translating. Thank you to all in the cabinet and to all who through practising the teachings, illuminate and animate them. May our practise deepen and widen in 2009.

The tentative start date for teachings in 2009, is Sunday 11th of January.

Hoping you all have a fun and safe New Years.
