You can look for our chief skype officer, bohiruci. Unfortunately, bohiruci is not in favour of my idea:(

Hi all,

This thread is for any Buddhist group to share its activities - Dharma talks, visits to elderly homes, courses, etc. You can also share your experiences from the activities.

Just to start the ball rolling, I've been to Ajahn Brahm's talk - Creating Good Karma, organised by the Buddhist Fellowship on 27 Jan 2008. (I'm not a BF member by the way.) The talk was very interesting with Ajahn Brahm sharing his experiences and humour. I'm definitely looking forward to more talks in Feb.

Hi, thanks for sharing :) I have heard a few Ajahn Brahm talk, quite good..

I mostly attend the dharma activities in my own dharma center, the timetable is as follows (those interested may want to attend the talks by 'Chen Ming An Chuan Jiao Shi Fo Fa Kai Shi (VCD)' (talks by my taiwanese teacher) as well as the Dharma Q&A by 'Xu Lao Shi' (my local dharma teacher):

Hi AEN,

Thanks for sharing as well:) You mention that there is VCD on talks. Where can we purchase them?

Besides that, do you know of any community service activities organised by Buddhist groups?

Nope.. you can't purchase them unfortunately...

Community services, have to ask others.. I'm not too sure.

jinsei SG

Oh...

In that case, what do you think of starting our own activities group (not affiliated to any Buddhist group), something like the meetup groups?

We can meet up to plan activities ranging from community service to dharma discussions or even self-improvement activities. Anyone interested?

jinsei SG

A bit off-topic here.

I just saw a vegetarian meetup group, just check out the following website if you are interested:

Hi may i suggest set up a yahoogroup where we can link to various newsletter from different buddhist group and temple. And round up people who might be interested to go for any dharma talk and activites. As for the idea, i think it is a good.

Regarding planningwise, i'm not sure that i'm currently free to commit but i can try to help.

That's great:) It's ok if you could not commit at this time. Ideas will be nice - like what type of community service, dharma discussions, self-improvement activities, etc.

I can't contribute much in terms of dharma discussions...still need to learn basic Buddhism.

Dear Jinsei,

I used to have a Buddhism meetup.com group ,the issue with meetup.com is they started to ask for hefty charges for meetup subscription ,so we drop the membership there

Buddhism meetup group still exist in my other forums

I dun have much time to arrange meetup due to my work

jinsei SG

OIC. Can share the links? Thanks!

That is also a good idea. We can also use the yahoogroup as a platform for organising new activities. Anyone wants to share their thoughts on this matter?

jinsei SG

I am thinking about organising an activity that would allow us to practise our Right Speech as well as English conversations - especially pronunciation. Or have any groups organised this already?

This idea "Right speech + English Conversation" is quite interesting.
U probably first to organise it based on the above concept.
