Ordinary Dharma Seeks Land
Our intention is to establish a community in the Los Angeles area, based on mindfulness practice and socially engaged Buddhism, that would interface with the homeless and gang communities. Interest, support, and advice is most welcome. Please contact Christopher Reed at (213) 396-5054.
Community of Mindful Living Seeks Land
For the past several years, we have had the idea to find a place where a small residential community can "bake" a life of mindfulness practice and share it with others on a regular basis—a place where we can continue offering meditation retreats for young people and families, helping professionals, veterans, artists, environmentalists, and many others. We believe that such a center can be a deep and sustaining resource for the many people who have already "dipped into the well" and for those who would benefit from an introduction to mindfulness practice.
If you know of a place of 20-100 acres, with structures on it for at least twelve people to live and fifty people to attend retreats and classes, that is available inexpensively (or free) for us to establish a practice center, please contact Arnie Kotler or Therese Fitzgerald (510) 527-3751.
Documentary Film
Filmmakers Ken Green and Gaetano Maida have documented Thich Nhat Hanh's work for peace and reconciliation worldwide. Filming began at Plum Village last summer and includes footage of the "peace walk" at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial last November and the retreats with veterans, refugees, environmentalists, helping professionals, and young people this Spring. The project needs financial support to reach completion. For information, please contact Gaetano Maida, Legacy Productions, 1307 Josephine Street, Berkeley, CA 94703, phone (415) 525-7594; fax (415) 524-9739.
