My name means "he who shines with loving kindness" and I'm relatively new to the Auckland Buddhist Centre, though not to Buddhism. Born this time in Wellington, I spent almost 40 years living in Australia before moving back here to help care for my elderly mum. I've joined the ABC after 20 years with the Melbourne Buddhist Centre, and am a member of the Sangha Night team, although absent at present due to a temporary scheduling change while the centre is being renovated.
