Fundraising for Help us complete the build of our beautiful centre for future generations
Auckland
I've decided to put my body on the line, well my hair at least, to support the final push to cover the costs of renovating the Auckland Buddhist Centre. It's very exciting to be moving into our beautiful new space in August 2025, but we will still have a few bills on the way to us.
Some of you may have noticed that I haven't had a haircut in a while - over two years in fact - so it will be a dramatic change to have a (very) short haired and clean shaven Centre Manager again. (If you don't believe in rebirth, you will soon.)
Karunajoti has kindly offered to wrangle the clippers and scissors required, and while we don't have an exact date or place scheduled yet, it is likely to be at the new centre early in August. We'll let you know.
Can you help me reach my goal of $4,000 to lose my locks and help us close our funding gap
The hair has gone 10 August 2025
With much gratitude to you all, this is the result. I am now my own emoticon 🤓.
A big thank you to Karunajoti for her caring attention to my head as she weilded the scissors and clippers, and to those who turned up to witness the event.
As of this morning, we had gone a bit over $4,000, a great result for the centre renovations still to be paid for.
Perhaps others will be so pleased with the result (centre renovations AND hair), that more will be forthcoming. In any case, thank you all.
Thank you so much Sarashri.
Aww, thanks Jayakara.
Thank you so much Simhashraddha
Thank you Vijayacitta. Hope you're well, and warmer than I am. 😊
