Versak is a most important occasion as it is the date that Buddha Sakyamuni was born, attained Supreme Enlightenment and passed away.
Over the years, our Centre has celebrated this most important day in a similar fashion to most of the Buddhist world culture. At Versak we extend our regular practice so that we are sitting in meditation at that full moon time in synchrony with the millions of persons sitting in different lands.
This year our Members celebrated Versak by taking 8 precepts and practicing mindful action throughout the day.
3.5 Founder's Day

3.7 Australasian Buddhist Convention
The inaugural Australasian Buddhist Convention was held on 22 and 23 June 2002 at Camberwell Civic Centre, Melbourne, Victoria. Australia.
This gathering of eminent and respected Teachers from different Buddhist traditions, and who reside both within Australia and as far abroad as the U.S. and Sri Lanka, was the first such event to be conducted on Australian soil.
Guest speakers spoke on the conference theme of “Buddhism: the Pathway to a Peaceful Mind” at the Convention.
This exceptional international event was an achievement for both the Buddhist community in Australia and the broader Australian community. We thank and congratulate the organisers of this event.
The Convention hosted some international members of the Sangha. Honourable members of Australian federal, state and local governments spoke at the Convention opening.
His Excellency the Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia, Dr. Peter Hollingworth addressed the assembly, officially declared the convention open, and he participated in the lighting of traditional Lamp Ceremony with other Honourable guests.
Venerable Monks delivered messages from His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama and Venerable Bhikkhu Bodhi Mahathero's address, in their absence.
A pioneer of Buddha Dhamma in Australia, John D. Hughes accompanied by his wife Anita Hughes, attended both days of the Australasian Buddhist Convention as honoured guests.
Before the opening ceremony, John D. Hughes was presented to His Excellency Governor-General of Australia and greeted the Honourable Phillip Ruddock, Federal Minister for Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs.
Members of our Centre played key roles on the Steering Committee the Convention.
Dr. Ranjith Hettiarachi, a guest on our Buddhist Hour radio program earlier this year, was Convenor of the Australasian Buddhist Convention.
Dr. Guruge, Keynote Speaker and Chairman of the Convention, focussed on how we can apply Buddhist principles to the worldly aspects of our lives as lay practitioners.
The second day of the Australasian Buddhist Convention commenced with an “Introduction to Buddhist Meditation” given by Venerable Pannyavaro.
He described the meditation he taught as a form of Zen. This involves just watching the mind without relaying or commenting on what is found to be arising and falling.
Venerable Brahmavamso spoke on “Traditional Teachings in Non-Traditional Times”.
Venerable Brahmavamso explained how peace of mind is developed through freedom from desires, not freedom of desires.
Discussion Panels were held on both days of the Convention.

7.0 Translations
Our Information Officer Leanne Eames is a professional translator of Japanese and English. She assists us with the translation of newsletters and documents from Japan.
8.0 The John D. Hughes Collection
At present on site, we operate between being a second and third rate e-library with thousands of searchable files. To date, this resource is not available on-line.
Under the direction of resident Teacher, John D. Hughes, the Centre has developed a library resource that became a satisfactory 21st Century Centre.
By September 2002, we had catalogued 4,115 books. The catalogue is available on Internet.
Our current development goal for the library this year is to become more constantly a second rate library. At present, the Collection has many examples of the World’s best Buddha Dhamma reference materials and artefacts.
We plan to make these visible to the general public via Internet.
These items require digital photographing and putting on-line.
Our Chief Information Officer is Leanne Eames B.A. M.A.
Our Joint Librarians are John D. Hughes Dip. App. Chem. T.T.T.C. GDAIE and Anita M. Hughes RN Div 1.
Our Assistant Librarian is Julie O'Donnell.
Our new version of the development plan has the integrity, wisdom and maturity to become a 21st Century Super Centre. Our vision for the early 21st Century is to achieve the status of a first rate library by World Standards of the time.
In order to meet the objectives for our library this year, the Buddhist Discussion Centre (Upwey) Ltd. is implementing modern operating systems.
We require more library assistants to train in our systems.
9.0 Audio and video recordings of teachings and events
We continue to preserve Buddha Dhamma Teachings by making audio and video recordings.
Lainie Smallwood is currently making transcriptions of the Prajnaparamita Teachings by John D. Hughes.
10.0 To develop and maintain the Centre's IT systems, data warehouse, LAN and web sites; train Members to become Webmasters; to develop e-commerce
We report on Information Technolgy in our publication the Longhair Australian News. Our Longhair Australia News can be read at http://www.bsbonline.com.au/longhair/
This year we successfully moved some of our computers to new locations at our Centre owing to a re-organising of room space. The former offices have been converted to bedrooms. Our two LANs are running well. We have a large data store on our LANs and software that helps us retrieve information on the selected topic searched for. We hold copyright in what we write. Our publications have precise working instructions and an invitation to practise. Presently we run five websites and we intend to develop more and more Internet sites. We want to distribute and preserve more Chan Academy Australia branded information in various modern media.
We want to deliver a mass education system about the best insights that Buddha Dhamma can deliver.
Our conceptual solution for Information Technology is robust enough to meet our mission to target 1 million readers of our Buddha Dhyana Dana Review (BDDR) Online by 2020 AD.
We predict that holography will become very popular in the future. Holography depicts three-dimensional images in the most accurate way by using a laser. Art, science and technology use holograms. Although holography has been around since the early 1960s, its full potential has not yet been ascertained. It will be possible to store large amounts of data with holographic technology; this is called holographic data storage (HDS).
At present, holography as a complete subject is not yet taught in Australia.
We want to learn how to do holograms so that we will be able to use this technology to produce three-dimensional images.
11.0 To produce, edit, publish and distribute the BDDR and BSB
Our flagship journal is online with colour photographs at www.bdcu.org.au and www.bddronline.net.au
In the year 2002 we published 8 issues of the Buddha Dhyana Dana Review.
In the year 2003 so far we have published 3 issues of the Buddha Dhyana Dana Review.
In the last year we published 11 issues of our newsletter the Brooking Street Bugle in print and online at www.bsbonline.com.au
12.0 Buddhist Hour Broadcast
Our 262nd Buddhist Hour Broadcast went to air on Sunday 2 February, marking our fifth consecutive year.

Thank you to our Teacher John D. Hughes who had the vision to create the Buddhist Hour Broadcast and was the presenter on the very first program in February 1998. Guiding the Buddhist Hour's first 240 broadcasts as its Executive Producer.
Thank you to all the heavenly Devas and Devatas who bless the Buddhist Hour Broadcast. Please continue to help us.

May a second weekly Buddhist Hour Broadcast program go to air this year.
