The work of the Hamilton Vihara (Waikato Compassion Meditation Center) continues to progress well. This is in large part due to the help and support provided in numerous ways by the monks, congregation and the wider community. The respected monks have provided thoughtful and compassionate help, support, advice, and teachings, while the devoted temple congregation and wider community have provided food, meals, financial support and assistance in a variety of ways whenever required. We gratefully acknowledge the enormous amount of help the Vihara has received from everyone concerned. May you all receive many blessings and great merits for your kindness and compassion.
