MEDITATION was the subject of a talk at a book launch at Clitheroe Books. The speaker was the Buddhist monk


Kelsang Namkhyen, a senior teacher at the Losang Dragpa Buddhist Centre in Tod- mordeh, who addressed a gathering of about 20 people. The book on which his talk was based is


The New Meditation Handbook, by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, and explains 21 step-by- step meditations, each one designed to develop a positive mind and make one’s life happy and meaningful. Although the techniques explained in the


book, and in the meditation classes held at Clitheroe Books, are from the Buddhist tradition, they are shown in such a way


that anyone can benefit from them, regard­ less of background. The talk will be fol­ lowed up by the weekly meditation classes at Clitheroe Books every Wednesday at 7 p.m. A variety of courses are run at the


Losang Dragpa Buddhist Centre showing how Buddhism and meditation can be used to help in a modern lifestyle by reducing stress, overcoming anger and finding peace within. For further details contact Clitheroe


Books on 01200 444342, or Losang Dragpa Buddhist Centre on 01706 812247. Our picture shows Kelsang Namkhyen


and his audience at Clitheroe Books. (B1770903/2b)

Remarkable life comes to an end


FEW men have had such a remarkably varied life as Down- ham’s Mr Michael McFall, who


has died aged 79. A strong, gifted and high-achiev­


ing personality, Mr McFall served the .country with active involve­ ment in numerous nationally impor­ tant events or institutions — cross­ ing the Rhine with the Allied inva­ sion, appearing on “The Archers”, making a film about a year on a farm seen all over the world, head­ ing a well-known brewery, writing children’s books to help raise £lm. for the Church Urban Fund and


writing Downham’s Millennium Masque pageant. ■


Mr McFall was born in Blundell-

Fair in need of choirs


CHOIRS are needed for this year’s Christmas fair in Clitheroe. A plea has been made by


organiser Mr Ray Barker for choirs to sing at the fair, which will be held on Sun­ day, December 7th, at Clitheroe market. Clitheroe Town Band


has already been booked, extra stalls arranged and the area will be decorated to provide a traditionally festive air, to which it is hoped to add the seasonal sound of choirs. Mr Barker said that he


would like to have one choir to sing in the morning and one in the afternoon, but the more the merrier. He added that he hoped school choirs would be able to attend the event. Mr Barker can be con­


tacted at Castle Minia­ tures, Moor Lane Clitheroe, or on 0774 7663 590.
