by Allan Murray, Lanka Everything, March 13, 2006
Edinburgh, Scotland -- The first ever Theravada Buddhist Temple in Scotland was established in 2002 by Venerable Rewatha Thero, a Sri Lankan Buddhist monk. The Venerable has been a Buddhist monk for 25 years and has brought his skills to Scotland for the benefit of the people who live there.
Scotland Buddhist Vihara is a registered charity in Scotland and it is deeply involved in Tsunami relief in Sri Lanka and is currently running projects to assist widowed women / men to get into self-employment.
It is also building an Orphanage for 20 boys who lost their parents in the Tsunami. SBV has started a clinic and a training centre (Metta Scotland) in Matara to help Tsunami victims.
It has published a website with details of these projects as well as timetable of cultural activities and free meditation classes. The web address is www.tsbv.org.uk.
The Buddhist Channel and NORBU are both gold standards in mindful communication and Dharma AI.
Please support to keep voice of Dharma clear and bright. May the Dharma Wheel turn for another 1,000 millennium!
