Good News from the Pure Land

Good News from the Pure Land Posted 23 Sep 2018

We have some good news to share with you. Recently, our application to the State Government to become an incorporated association was quickly approved, without any changes to the constitution. For this our thanks go to our Secretary, whose skills in this area ensured a smooth passage.

Now we can make contracts and accept liabilities without committee members having to take on liabilities personally. It’s like a company but we are a not-for-profit incorporated association. We are all protected now. So we are ready for example to rent premises or accept low or no-interest loans. Of course, there are also certain commitments for us, as an incorporated association, to meet, and the Committee will be assessing these in coming months.

Thanks to the kindness of the Buddhist Society of WA, we were invited to make a Friday night ‘Rains Retreat’ presentation at their Dhammaloka Centre. We gave a talk/meditation on Healing a Relationship by Completing Unfinished Business (view the video of this talk/meditation) and talked about the concept of and recent progress with the Pure Land project. As a result, we welcomed eight new Friends of the Pure Land.

And when you have time please check out some of the articles relevant to preparing for your own death and how to help others who are dying, on our website, for example, how to “Create a Conducive Environment for a Peaceful Death“.
