On Thursday September 27th, around 70 people from various groups and backgrounds met at the Cambridge Buddhist Centre.
This was to show our support for the people of Burma in their peaceful protests against repressive government.
Local BBC Radio and Television were in attendance, and recorded the chanting of the traditional pali "May all Beings be Well".
Those gathered then formed a silent procession to the Cambridge Guild Hall, lead by the organiser Dharmachari Vajrapriya. We then collected signatures for a petition to be submitted to the Burmese Embassy in London. Some people then meditated on the street as a mark of solidarity with the people of Burma.
If you are interested you can sign a petition on-line and send details to your friends. The address is:-

At the time of writing, over 177,000 people have registered their protest.
