Dear Friends,
The following message was circulated a couple days ago by
Christopher Titmuss to people associated with his sangha.
Metta
Vajramati
IN THIS TIME OF SORROW
Dear Dharma Friends,
In the wake of the violent world events, we wish to invite
our sangha of friends, family and loved ones to meditate
together on Tuesday, September 18th, 2001, exactly one
week after the terrible acts of violence and terror in the
USA. An appropriate time could be from 9.04 am in New York
City, Washington and Pennysylvania, which is 6.04 am in
California, around 2.04 pm (14.04 hrs) in Britain,
3.04 (15.04) in Europe, and 6.34 pm (18.34) in India
and 11.04 pm (23.04) in Australia.
Let us meditate together for thirty minutes in silence
and then offer fifteen minutes for metta (loving kindness)
to victims aand their loved ones, for survivors,
for perpetrators, for the world-wide Muslim community
and for the political and military leaders who are now
deciding what to do.
Please forward this e-mail message to as many people as you
possibly can at the earliest possible moment.
Metta
Christopher Titmuss, Jaya Ashmore and co-teachers
