A dear old friend of mine, now deceased, left his country property to the Trust to be used for charitable purposes. They didn't want it and it has now been sold. All tenants were offered a relocation fee (bribe) to vacate, as I was not very happy about proceedings I decided not to sign and apparently, as per the advocate handling the estate, will be forcibly evicted of necessary, at the direction of the Rok[a Trust, it seems. I feel am a single woman, hard hit by the recession, struggeling to make ends meets and with nowhere to go. Are charities and religious institutions now also resorting to force and abuse of power for their own ends . I feel my rights are being violated by an organisation which suffered much the same fate in their country at the hands of the Chinese. I would appreciate any advice, asstance and words of wisdom on how to proceed with this matter by any concerned citizens out there. sincerely Fiona Bell Hi, regarding the buddhist teachings of kindness, compassion and consideration for all life :- I am in the process of being evicted from a home I love by an advocate acting in the interests of the Rokpa Buddhist Trust in South Africa.
