This fun(d)raiser was held on Tuesday, 6 April 2005 at Weerona, North Hobart. It was opened by Zasep Tulku Rinpoche, and the auctioneer was Ian Laing. It turned out to be a very long evening, with many people turning up, and a lot of interesting and varied works of art and "curiosities" offered for sale. A good amount of money was raised for the Dorje Ling project.

Quote from our teacher, Zasep Tulku Rinpoche:

‘‘There are numerous benefits that mindfulness of breathing meditation can have.

‘‘The ultimate benefit is enlightenment and perfect samadhi. There are also many temporary benefits. You will have proper breathing patterns, better health and you will begin to be more mindful, have more energy and inner peace.’’
