Savaka Sangha ::: A Buddhist Community

As you may know, Raymond Taavel, a beloved Shambhala Sun staff member and dedicated activist for LGBT rights, was murdered outside a bar here in Halifax in April. (See our coverage of his death here.)

Raymond was long involved with organizing Halifax’s annual Pride Week celebrations, and for this year’s Pride, Shambhala Sun senior writer Barry Boyce put together this tribute to Raymond in The Coast, a local weekly newspaper. There’s also this video about Raymond that was shown at his public memorial service in May.
