Tuesday, Dec. 13th, 2011 Diamond Way Perth Spring Meditation Retreat October 27th to 30th 2011
For the past five years the members of Diamond Way Perth have participated in a Spring retreat for a long weekend of sharing, meditating and enjoying each others company away from the usual distractions of our everyday lives. We usually choose a beach-side venue. For the past few years we have hired two houses at Yanchep, a small beach resort an hour drive north of Perth. This has worked well using one house for meditation and the other for eating and socializing. The costs of accommodation and meals were shared between the participants.

After finishing the manuscript for his latest book, "Being Useful", Lama Ole travelled from the Gold Coast to Brisbane to inaugurate the Gompa (meditation room) of the new Brisbane Diamond Way Buddhist Group.
Lama Ole, Caty and a group of almost 50 students squeezed themselves into the newly renovated gompa to meditate together and invoke enlightened energies to create a perfect space to meditate.
After the gompa blessing Lama Ole toured the flood damaged banks of the Brisbane River to see the erosion and high water mark of the January 2011 Brisbane flood.

Fortunately for those who can't accompany the Lama on the tour, you can follow along the whole way throughout Australia and New Zealand from your own desk.

Monday, Feb. 7th, 2011 Lama Ole's response to the recent floods in Australia
Buddhists around the world have certainly noticed your catastrophe and we are many who would have wished to come and help. If there is still work to do in March, when I will visit your noble country, I hope to be of some use. Certainly friends and students of mine are already active. Of course, I make best wishes for people and their property.
