    As to donations, it is as I mentioned: Do what one can, what feels right, and we can't all do the same. Priority to a donation to help the poor and sick. Anything after that to Treeleaf is not necessary, no requirement at all, purely up to ability and how one feels is right.

      Yesterday four properties literally across the dirt road from us had a bushfire go through. Lots of sheds and their contents lost as well as various machinery and tractors. I've got blisters on both feet from the fire and punctures from taking on a barbed wire fence badly as I tried, along with many others to do as much as we could before firefighters arrived. Around 20 fire trucks, a few locals with fire equipment on their utes and two water bombing helicopters were needed to get it under control. Three ambulances and a couple of cop cars were also there helping those affected by shock and smoke inhalation. To see neighbours (the average property is 50 acres) come together as they did warmed my heart. This is what a community should look like all the time, not just when bad things happen. I had to go to the doctor this morning as the smoke had affected my asthma and on the way home I visited each of those affected to see how they are travellin'. Although my partner and I donate every month to a number of charities, we will also donate a few bales of Lucerne to those affected by the fire. This along with a private commitment I made to Jundo a while back will constitute my donation for the privilege of being able to participate in Jukai. I hope this will suffice and is seen as being in the spirit required.
      Be kind to yourself and look out for each other.

          Anna,

          I have been paying attention to the fires in Australia. I am sorry for the grief and pain you and all others are dealing with. The best for all of you.

                Let us offer Metta to all who are in the path of natural events and those who rush to their aid. We lean on each other as human beings.

                Anna, times like this show your Bodhisattva heart in action, not just words on paper.

                We will be sitting for your recovery as well.

                Gassho, J

                    I received my back pannel for my second Rakusu. Thank you so much Jundo. Marks the tenth anniversary of my taking Jukai with my Treeleaf family. Thanks to all for the teaching, friendship and support over these years.
