Southern Dharma supports Buddhist Global Relief
May 27 - 31, 2020
In support of the good work BGR does in the world, the cancellation of their annual walk and the added need during the global pandemic, Southern Dharma will provide a variety of offerings during this week of celebration and remembrance.
Registration is free and is not required. Links to access Zoom are shared below.
This is a fundraising effort for our local food bank and Buddist Global Relief. Our goal is $2000. 20% of total donations will go to MANNA food bank, serving Madison County N.C and 80% to Buddhist Global Relief for their effective projects in America and throughout the world. Please join us.
We encourage you to listen to this video, Bhikkhu Bodhi interviewed by Rev. Angel Kyodo Williams, “Conscientious Compassion: Why Mindfulness is not enough”
