South Africa with Metta

Dear Dhamma friends,

Hey, this is working. I created this forum when I joined up here, and already we are now six. You will also see that Annie Leatt and Peter Just are connected on this site. Annie and I have known each other for years. We are friends who happen to follow different lineages of the Buddha's path. We felt that as we were both activists, and that our activism is shaped, enhanced, constrained and illuminated by the dhamma, that there may well be others like us.
We are making an outreach, using email buddhistsa@gmail.com to reach other Buddhists who apply dhamma in social justice and social action.
One of the areas of possible cooperation is on the creation of provincial Religious Leaders Forums. I am helping out with the Western Cape RLF, and Peter is supporting the National structure. You may be interested in supporting your provincial structure.
There are many other avenues for joint action, or at least sharing moral support. Feel free to use the Forum discussions below, and welcome your friends.

Yours with metta

Nigel
