As we until today concentrated our Live to Love actions in the rooms of environnment and social work, we decided this time to focus on the medical area. So we went together on monday the 22, to the main hospital in Geneva to donate our blood for medicine use. Unfortunately only very few members of our sangha could gather that day and the three people who were there had to give up this project as the doctors refused to take blood from them for some medical reasons. As we were little disappointed, and the month already nearly finished, we decided to donate some financial support for this time, to help poor people in the cold streets of the city who have to beg for there survival… We will try to make some more actions in the medical area in the next few months… At least that try has had the benefit of making us aware of the immense need of blood in hospitals and we will surely give our blood as soon as we can again!
Sometimes the people from the animal home ask us in between if we have time to help, so Tara and I agreed to come and clean, because for the day of open doors next day they wanted to have a proper home. I asked my mother if she also likes to help and she agreed spontaneously and took her granddaughter, Tara’s cousin, with her, so that both girls cleaned together and me and my mother, which went very harmoniously. We also baked a cake for the next-day-event, where quite a lot of people came and hopefully felt in love with the one or other dog or cat to give them a nice new home. Anyhow it was a pleasure to help and to see that it is becoming for Tara more and more natural to help without expecting something ( and for the patients too)

With the prayers and wishes to help all the sentient beings, the Annual Drukpa Council members in Bhutan initiated the first ever “Live to Love” activity in Bhutan on the 27th of September 28, 2008. The members were blessed with the presence of H.E the IXth Khamtrul Rimpoche and H.E the IInd Thuksey Rimpoche.
The members of ADC and other few volunteers made a visit to the dog pound at Memelakha and Wangchutaba, Thimphu, Bhutan to feed more than 1000 sick, malnourished and also dying dogs. Many dogs cried to be freed as they must have felt like prisoners and many had been injured due to the fights among themselves. For the comfort of the human beings the dogs were impounded in the area very uncomfortable with not enough food to eat. It is like snatching away the right of the dogs to live.

Last Sunday September 21st, a small group of people went to the seaside for the Live to Love activity. Thanks to the financial participation of a few more people, who could not join us, we were able to buy around 17 kilos of winkles and 1 kilo of clams. We went to the sea to release the beings. First we gave some mendrup to the animals, then did two practices together near them and recited some mantras of Avalokiteshvara while we were releasing them. We were very happy to have given them a new chance in an appropriate place so that they might not be fished by human beings soon (hopefully). We went to two different spots : one appropriate for the winkles, the second one for the clams. We stopped a while at the second spot to picnic, as we wanted to wait for the low tide to release the clams.

This last Sunday, we went on a beach to clean it and we have collected litters and waste, most of them brought by the sea. This beach is exposed to the wind and the stream ; it means that sea tranports a lot of waste on a very long distance, toxin for animals, in particular turtles.
