We NOW send this URGENT appeal to our supporters, in Australia and world-wide, to made their own way helping millions of Burma cyclone victims, either via a local international-NGO (AUSTCARE via 1300 66 66 72 & https://www.austcare.org.au/donatenow/appeals/myanmar.aspx , or another good-named NGO. But common sense tells us to avoid sending our relief gift thru a corrupted government or its official agents.

In case of Burma this time, may I suggest you try to send your personal/group gift, using your local Western Union services to one of the well-known Sangha (monks) living in Yangon/Burma.

May I introduce my senior colleague, known to me for the last 4-5 years thru a series of international Buddhist conferences, the famous and respectable Burmese monk namely Most Venerable Ashin Nyanissara Sayadaw [you Google his profile or check his works at http://www.dhammaweb.net/nyanissara.html].  He is Chancellor of the well-known Sitagu International Buddhist Academy [http://www.sitagu.org/burma/ located at Thegon Sayadaw, Sitagu Vihra, Sagaing Hills, Sagaing City, Union of Myanmar, Phone - +95-72-21270] and also the  Founding Director of the charitable hospital, named Sitagu Ayudna Hospital [Phone - +95-72-21310, Fax - +95-72-21587].

He was just spending 2 weeks for Dhamma teachings in Australia, hadvisited us at the Sakyamuni Buddhist Centre Canberra on 28-29/4 and just left Sydney for Myanmar on 7/5/08. You now can access him directly via mobile no. +95-9-519 9991 or via his email sitagu01@mandalay.net.mm.

If you, Australians only please, seriously prefer to send thru my Australian Buddhist Relief (ABR), please made your direct deposit / internet transfer to ABR, Commonwealth Bank, BSB 062904, A/c 1004-7440. We may cease to receiving your gift on 30/6/2008, for publicizing the collections and reporting its transfers to Myanmar thru public media and some community language newspapers. We may also send detailed report for publicity on  www.quangduc.com and other friendly Buddhist websites.

All generous donors please email me at quangba@tpg.com.au, or mail to PO box 1004 Dickson ACT 2602 your (also for your cheque /money order to be mailed) correct evidence of your deposit / transfer, then a ABR official Receipt can be issued. Cash can be drop at our Canberra Monastery, address above, or our Sydney branch Monastery at 155 The Boulevarde, Fairfield Heights NSW 2165.

By the meanwhile, please join us in Canberra to pray for 100,000+ dead, on Sun 18.5.08, 10am.

May the Triple Gems bless you and all family members for an ever happy and peaceful life.

Yours in the Dhamma.
