A Big Give Away in Itar

Buddhavajra says "On the 26th January we went to a village named is Itar. It's 100 kilometer from Bodhgaya. Nearly 100 people were present. Nissoka and I gave talks about buddhisim, and we also gave away some books, notebooks, pens, erasers, and some sweets. It was good experience.

Bodhgaya Community

There are 9 local guys living in the Triratna community in Bodhgaya. For the last month Nissoka and Buddhavajra have being leading study for them on the subject of the ten precepts. They study three time a week.
