ANZAC Walk ¡V Coogee Beach to Bondi Beach |
¿D¬w³·±ù |

Today- 26th April, a
public holiday, almost 20 members of BLIAYAD, Sydney and BLIA, Sydney
met at Coogee Beach to start a 2hrs walk to Bondi Beach. The weather was
beautiful; we had the sun shining on us warming our bodies as we
strolled along the coastline with cool sea breezes. We would stop to
enjoy the ocean view and appreciate the beauty of nature. -Joey Wai |

ANZAC
was the name given to the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps soldiers
who landed on the Gallipoli Peninsula in Turkey early on the morning of
25 April 1915 during the First World War (1914-1918). As a result, on
25th of April every year the whole of Australia gathers in solemn
ceremonies of remembrance, gratitude and national pride for all our men
and women who have fought and died in all wars. 
It
was a wonderful way to remember those who sacrificed their lives for us,
without them we might not have what we have now. As Buddhism reminds us
to appreciate everything we have in life and not take them for granted
because for one thing to exist, it requires a lot of conditions to come
together.
