Since 2012, as a standard institutional practice our school has been delivering Fomalhaut Reward to give courage and acknowledge efforts of those national or international distinguish persons, institutions and organizations who brings enlightenment to our kind.
Fomalhaut Reward stands for as an indicator of our gratitude and appreciation for those who seek a better society through relinquish work.
Amongst billons of stars, Fomalhaut, with its linked symbolism of promising an eternal name to those who pursue high ideals in an honorable fashion, seems best suited to the meaning we attached to the reward, hence was the inspiration.
Roy Gillett was born in southern London in 1938. He travelled widely around the world studying religions in their cultural setting. He especially investigated the occult side of teachings trying to reach the essence of the meaning which enlightens the route to self and leads to one only. He spent some time with Tibetan Lamas and Zen monks and in 1978 he took Buddhist refuge and has been a close student of Mahayana tradition ever since. He is a Trustee of London’s Jamyang Buddhist Centre which serves community as a peaceful meditation center.
Roy combines twenty years of experience in City of London business and school teaching with 40 more as an astrologer and Buddhist and has been teaching astrology worldwide since 1974. He joined Britain's The Astrological Association in 1988 and has been the President of the Association since 1999. He speaks for astrology on the media, is a regular presenter at international conferences and writes at The Astrological Journal's mundane astrology news column.
His book Astrology and Compassion the Convenient Truth makes a powerful case for the central role of astrology in 21st century ideas and society. His study Economy, Ecology and Kindness, compares astro-cycles with market theories and actions especially between 1979 and 2024. He also published a book called The Essence of Buddhism indicating main issues for a better life. His Secret Language of Astrology is a colorful introduction. He is also known for his technical supports given to the development of the astrology program Solar Fire, which is widely used and well accepted amongst the worldwide users.
