Hi Jessica,

What do you intend to do with this petition? I never sign them
unless I know their destination.
Best wishes

Subject: [Buddha-l] Solidarity with Kushinagari Farmers

Greetings all,

There was a discussion recently on this list about the FPMT's
Maitreya Project and the controversy on the ground.  I spent
several months in Kushinagar doing dissertation research, and I
continue to feel that the Maitreya Project has abdicated their
responsibility to the local people whose land will soon be
acquired.  A group of us have started a Friends of the
Kushinagari Farmers petition. Please at least take a look at it,
and sign it if you agree with that the Maitreya Project should be
held accountable for their (in)actions.

Please forward this petition to others!

Many thanks,
