FWBO Berlin AGM

Yesterday we held the annual General Meeting of the charity. I have been the Chairman now since November 2003 and feel that I am am beginning to find my feet. As always there is a lot of formality in such meetings, and a lot of preparation, writing and copying the papers and reports. At the same time the meetings provide a focus for the members of the charity, all members of the Western Buddhist Order, to come together and meet on a basis of common interest and shared vision. The vision is not always so explicit, but there is undoubtedly a lot of overlap, which expresses itself in the harmonious and friendly manner in which we get things done.
