Supporting Burmese People in Sheffield

Yesterday evening members of the Amida School in Sheffield sat with sangha friends in the centre of Sheffield, in support of the Karen Community Association, a group of Burmese refugees settled here under the UNHCR's Gateway Programme. There were heartfelt speeches from a range of people in support of the people of Burma. We meditated with a banner saying: Sheffield Buddhists for a Free Burma.
