Dear Dharma friends,
It’s time for our end of year fundraising campaign, and I want to take a moment to thank you for being part of our community, and for the myriad ways in which you have supported our center.
As we near the end of the year and a new beginning, I invite you to reflect on the practice of Chan in your life by considering what you are grateful for, and how Chan Buddhism has impacted your life. What teachings have been particularly alive for you this month, or even this year? If you feel these teachings and this center have supported you, consider giving a tax-deductible, year-end gift. or consider becoming a monthly donor or increasing your current monthly donation. Thank you for any gift that you are able to give. Large or small, each donation is deeply meaningful.
By centering practice in our lives, we transform our hearts and minds with wisdom, compassion, and goodwill. By transforming our hearts and minds, we extend the teachings to our families, friends, and community, and move together towards peace.
You can find a complete list of ways to donate at the end of this email, or by visiting the donation page.
With gratitude,
GuoGu
I am grateful for the kindness and generosity of this community, and am inspired by the willingness I see to go above-and-beyond to help one another. This extends beyond our sangha to those from different cultures, with different needs, with no agenda other than to provide help where we can. GuoGu said, roughly, that we help them become better at whatever they are, and to use the language they understand. How much does this free us to connect with all of humanity?
