Dear All,

Thank you for everyone who help and came last night for the event "Buddhism without Borders". I hope all of you enjoyed it and find it meaningful. There are many things that we can improve on and will try to do better next time. The turnout last night was really good, I think there were about 50-60 of us. We have receive many positive comments and we have received a total donation of �75 pounds. We promise this will be put in good use and we will let you know how we are going to use this money. Most likely we are going to cover the cost of the event which is very minimal as we try to get everything for free, the rest should go to Ajahn Khemadhammo's Forest Hermitage. Although it's not a lot of money but it's a sign of support from us.

We would like to thank Ajahn Khemadhammo and the representive from the Warwick Buddhis society to travel all the way from Warwick. The talk was great and many feedbacks say the level of difficulty is just right for the audience. Many thanks to Ajahn Khemadhammo and we will try to make this an annual event if possible.

Here are some previews of the photos
