[Buddha-l] Yes Alice--there is group karma

[Lidewij Niezink]

Thanks Jo! Best read of the day for me today. We live in such confusing
times... I need a break. Any recomendations for out of Europe, into
anything else emigrations (preferably with sun, seasons, sea and a mountain
where I can grow my veggies; I don't ask much ;-))

Cheers,
Lidewij
