About my "Buddhist Boot Camp" inspired videos
Latest reply to a commentator on my Buddhist Boot Camp inspired videos on http://YouTube.com/toothpaste007 "Thank you Luca, I have great respect and gratitude for Stephen Bachelor both for his books and how he is face to face as a teacher. "Buddhism without Beliefs" was my entry from a state of despair (with humanity)in the face of a relationship end to my love of the Triratna Buddhist order and discovery of Ambedkarite Buddhism in India (1956 mass conversion in Nagpur to the present day). "The Faith to Doubt" is another of Stephen's books I hold dear. My interest in Timber Hawkeye's one and only book - he has no others in the pipeline and is moving from Hawaii to California to train in being a signer (sign language not sign painting) is that he has some knockout (over-simplistic) ideas and I'd love the world to understand the basic choice between loving what is and fearing it that we encounter day by day. I love Sangharakshita's assertion (in The Relgion of Art) that the core value of Buddhism is fearlessness, and this fearlessness to me now, is the product of wisdom & compassion. Also I love "Buddhist Boot Camp - Repentance"; video of that name uploaded yesterday and the basic idea that the world would be better if we levelled out working for money to approx 20hours for each person (in The West); to which I suggest we also have an equal number of hours in our lives socialising in ways that exchange Timebank credits. All of this has to be conveyed simply to others (well, that's my chosen mission); what would it take for me to recruit you onto the team - money etc?"

Explaining the nature of the #2066 #Timebanking Gallery
The space is intended to be a hub for the engagement of local people in exchanging services through the principle of timebanking. The St Leonards Sharing Timebank aim is that at least 40 hours a week of doing odd jobs for each other are undertaken in the Southwater Area. Rather than just present this on http://stleonardstimebank.blogspot.co.uk I intend to present the community-building nature of this work through encouraging a greater flow of the community into a Timebanking themed Gallery, to be called the #2066 #Timebanking Gallery, where people will be able to borrow from 5 bookcases of Mind, Body, Spirit (& other books), engage in dialogue with the Gallery Assistant and possibly buy a number of items. The key items on sale are presently planned to be books about Community Development work, how people have learned to live well despite low incomes, how more equal societies are happier and how to engage better in Needs-based dialogue and co-create empowered communities. Photos that I had in a 2012 Coastal Currents exhibition and CDs of performers at the Timebank events will also feature.
A range of events will be regularly provided that will use the main hall for eg a folk singer or a training like that which approximately 20 people attended In September 2011 (Dialogue Road Map Training) & the chair of Hastings Pier & White Rock Trust, having been greatly moved by, said he would recommend to all boards of Trustees with which he was engaged. With the intention of demonstrating the much wider range of applicability of this training it seems best to also mention Stuart, a homeless guy who turned up at the Southwater Centre instead of the Seaview centre and was given accommodation by another of the event attendees. Stuart also valued the two day training, not just for the friendliness experienced and high quality of connection with others but for the learning.
Until the Timebank grows I can only guarantee the following opening hours for the #2066 #Timebanking Gallery:
Monday 1pm-6pm
Friday 12-8pm
Entry at other times will be based on appointment & I would also maintain the Mediation Service I run (http://telephonemediation.org.uk) from this space along with having the more private space for sensitive dialogue upstairs.
On a couple of Fridays a month I would intend to host meetings of Hastings & St Leonards Action For Happiness.
The value base of all activities is that they be carried out with "openness, accountability, and be focused on co-creating more caring and sharing community."
Kind regards
