December 28, 2004

Today, we had a service at the Dharma Vijaya Buddhist Vihara to transfer merits to the victims of the tsunami/earthquake tragedy in South Asia. This event was attended by Sangha members of all the Sri Lankan Buddhist temples in Southern California, dhayakas of the temple, and members of the press.

1. Funds received for the Sri Lanka Tsunami Relief
Fund as of today - $6,325.00

2. A cargo plane carrying medicinal materials will
leave for Sri Lanka on December 30th. The shipment is
sponsored by Americare, Stamford, CT. This effort was
coordinated by the Dharma Vijaya Buddhist Vihara.

3. A resident monk will personally take $2,000.00 on
December 30th to be distributed as immediate
assistance to displaced persons housed in various
shelters in the Southern and Eastern regions of Sri
Lanka. (The monk will not use the assets of the fund
for his travel expenses).

4. Your financial contributions may be sent to the
Dharma Vijaya Buddhist Vihara. Please make checks
payable to the Sri Lanka Tsunami Relief Fund.

Thank you,

Bhante Piyananda
