Re: An invitation to an ordination in Tasmania
Interesting indeed, plwk!
Unfortunately, I am unable to attend due to my wife's birthday falling on the same day.
But I promised my friend I would 'put the word out' and invite Buddhists and non-Buddhists far and wide.
I am sure it will be a success!
kind regards,
Ben
