TBYA Temporarily Suspended

Due to low attendance at all the 2014 Theravada Buddhist Young Adults (TBYA) meetings, it has been decided to temporarily suspend the TBYA discussion group. Thank you to all who have nurtured and supported TBYA during its first life, especially Ma Sanda and Ko Thet.

Career Discussion - "What do you want to become?"

Meeting: 3rd Saturday, May 17, 2014, 4 - 6 pm

Panel discussion on "What do you want to become?

Moderator: Li Chan
Panelists: Olivia Leong, Leo Myo, Eugenia Kaw

Discussion will relate to future plans and ambitions of young adults in high school and college, and touch on Right Livelihood.  It will provide you with food for thought about planning your future no matter how old you are.
