Engaged Buddhist Views of Cambodia, Thailand & the Burmese Border:
Slides and Discussion with Sue Moon & Alan Senauke

at GGFÕs Wheelwright Center
Tuesday, July 18 at 7:30 pm
In late February Turning Wheel editor Sue Moon and BPF National
Coordinator Alan Senauke represented BPF at the annual International
Network of Engaged Buddhists conference in Thailand. Along the way Sue
travelled to Cambodia, meeting with monks, nuns and lay people working
to heal a wounded nation. Together, Alan and Sue visited the Mon region
of the Thai/Burma border, where BPF has supported medical aid for
displaced Burmese. Join them while the images are still sharp.
Donations towards medical aid for Burmese refugees will be gratefully
accepted. The need is urgent.
