With four parties over the weekend we are definitely warming up to the summer party season. We went to half of the parties & we certainly had a whole lot of fun.
The first, a birthday party; felt more like a festival, with friends, face-painting, raffles, live music, belly dancing, delicious food & picnic blankets.
Everyone was then invited up to move their hips ~ Dazla was up shaking it out before I knew it.

Our beautiful friend Sandra.
Our family also celebrated SGI's 80th Foundation Day. The Buddhist group I study with met in a park with our significant others, friends & family for a beautiful day of laughter, fun & again delicious food.
Soka Gakkai literally translates as value creation society. In essence, the aim of all members of Soka Gakkai International (SGI) throughout the world is to manifest the life state of Buddhahood or enlightenment, so as to reveal the creative and compassionate potential of life. In so doing, we challenge ourselves to create thriving and peaceful families, work places and communities. The ultimate goal is, through the process of inner reformation (often referred to as human revolution), to create peace and prosperity in society. This is usually referred to by the Japanese term kosen-rufu.
SGI is an international organisation & for more information visit here.
Hope you had a good weekend.
