A big thank you for the Buddha Blitz

By Bodhidasa on Mon, 22 Dec, 2014 - 21:54The Sydney Buddhist Centre Management Committee and the Buddha Blitz team would like to thank all those who supported the Buddha Blitz.

People gave to the Blitz in many different ways. We raised a magnificent $33,467.80 - and we gained much more!

So we’re expressing our appreciation to the Sangha, not only for any monetary contribution people may have made, but also for the time, energy, skills, expertise, suggestions and goodwill that poured forth so readily right from...

“Buddha Blitz” at Sydney Buddhist Centre

By Munisha on Fri, 28 Nov, 2014 - 00:54The Sydney sangha don’t need any help with fundraising. In October they set about redeveloping and refurbishing their Buddhist Centre, starting with a fundraising project - the “Buddha Blitz” - which closed after little more than a month, having raised AUD 31000 (GBP 16,824/USD 26,510/EUR 21,215) – more than half of this on the first day!

Bodhidasa writes from Australia: “When a spiritual community unites, anything is possible. The Buddha Blitz is using volunteers from...

By Bodhidasa on Mon, 29 Sep, 2014 - 11:48

As a non-profit organisation, we rely almost entirely on donations from people attending the centre, and on money raised...
