Mahabodhi temple bombing
The Australian Buddhist community has been saddened and alarmed to hear of the bombing on 7th July 2013 at the Mahabodhi temple in Bihar, India. We hope those injured by the blasts are receiving the best medical care and support and will recover soon.
We hope the Indian governments will catch the perpetrators to reduce the risk of similar acts in future and also take action to ensure these significant Buddhist sites which are India’s national treasures are suitably protected. These sites are also places of veneration to Buddhists all over the world and must be preserved for posterity. Buddhist pilgrims should be able to continue visiting these sites safely and without fear. Read more »
To celebrate and thank Ajahn Brahm for thirty years of teaching the Dhamma in Perth, the Buddhist Society of WA (Inc). is organising a Fundraising Gala Dinner at the Pan Pacific Hotel on 22nd June 2013. This event is also to raise funds for Dhammasara Buddhist Nunnery. 
As Leader of the State Parliamentary Labor Party, I extend my very best wishes for peace and good health to all West Australian Buddhists for Vesak celebrations this year.
