Richard Brooksby (Clare College) has asked me to forward the following announcement to soc.rel.eastern. Apparently he has trouble posting directly from his U.K. site. Thanks for your attention to this note. Chris Stinson PSTINSON@WHAT.STANFORD.EDU ------------------------- announcement follows ----------------------- --- Subject: Call for contacts - The Cambridge University Buddhist Society WE WANT TO HEAR FROM SOCIETIES OR INDIVIDUALS The Cambridge (U.K.) University Buddhist Society would like to establish contacts with other societies or individuals throughout the world. The society is one of the oldest in the western world, although it was neglected for some years. We publish a yearly journal, `Kalpa', which we would be glad to distribute or exchange with other societies. We would also be interested in articles for the journal. Cambridge is a thriving Buddhist centre, with a Tibetan cultural centre, several Zen groups and ordained Western Buddhist Order people, amongst others. The society is a good way to get in contact with these groups, and we would be glad to supply information. The society holds regular meetings in Cambridge, and would be interested in contacting potential speakers on Buddhism or related subjects. For example, we have had meetings concerning Yoga, Tibetan medicine, the Pure Land sect etc. (This only really applies to the U.K. -- we can't afford to pay much in the way of travelling expenses, since we're entirely supported by subscriptions and donations.) If you would like something from us, or have something to offer, please contact us, BUT PLEASE SUPPLY GROUND MAIL ADDRESSES. There are strict rules about the use of JANET from Cambridge, so it unlikely that we can reply via EMail, although we are seeking clearance. Thank you for your time.
