Hello everyone. Hope all is well. As you can see by the thread,

http://www.freesangha.com/forums/index.php?topic=1658.0

Jikan a fellow member is having some issues with getting his Sangha Zafu's etc.

If you could please just take 5 minutes of your time and just look over the information and if you feel it is in your best interests, maybe donate to a  good cause?

Thank you everyone.  JinSyx

Happiness depends on what you can give not what you can get.

May you always have walls for the winds, a roof for the rain, a tea beside the fire, laughter to cheer you, those you love near you, and all your heart might desire.  May you live as long as you want, and never want as long as you live.

I also sent a little something. I wish I could donate a zafu or two, but the postage costs from here for such bulky and heavy things would be quite horrifying. It's probably better to buy them from within the U.S. Good luck with everything, Jikan!

EDIT: Oh, and by the way, I just installed a package that encodes email addresses in the page code so that bots can't harvest the emails for spam lists.

I would like to thank everyone who donated.  Our small sangha is now furnished with all the basics we need to carry on into the future under our own steam, thanks to you all. 

On behalf of the Great River Ekayana Sangha, I offer you our deepest gratitude.

"Without inner peace, outer peace is impossible. We all wish for world peace, but world peace will never be acheived unless we first establish peace within our own minds. We can send so-called 'peacekeeping forces' into areas of conflict, but peace cannot be oppossed from the outside with guns. Only by creating peace within our own mind and helping others to do the same can we hope to achieve peace in this world."
