Fundraising for one, for all

There are three projects fundraising at the Europe Centre summer course – ours, the Caracas Buddhist Centre, and the Israeli Retreat Centre.

The Israeli Diamond Way Buddhists have an ambitious plan to build a large meditation hall for one hundred people, along with huts for solitary retreat for serious practitioners who want to depend their meditation practice.

The final stage would be to build a stupa, a kind of Buddhist monument that provides excellent conditions to meditate nearby.

Rather than seeing the situation as competitive, we all decided to fundraise together and split whatever people wish to give three ways. In the end, the aim of all three projects is the same – to provide good conditions for people to meditate – and the only difference is the geography.
