Please help to support the Kalyāṇa-Mitta Meditation Center

Good Day Kalyāna-Mitta,

My name is Elisha Buhler and I am the President and Treasurer of Kalyāna-Mitta Meditation Center. Kalyāna-Mitta is a non-profit Buddhist Meditation Center located in Asheville, NC. Ajahn Kumāro is a Thai Forest Monk originally from New York and is the resident monastic at the center. The center offers many opportunities for the community to come and practice the Dhamma. There is a children’s program, twice daily meditation sits, twice daily Dhamma Q&A, a monthly Dhamma talk and a monthly meditation workshop. All services are offered without any fee.

This fundraiser will help cover the costs of rent and utilities of the Kalyāṇa-Mitta Meditation Center where Ajahn Kumāro currently resides. All funds collected will be used directly to support housing costs for Ajahn Kumāro.

Thank you all so much for your kindness and generosity!

May the Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha guide and protect you!

Metta blessings,

Elisha

Thank you to everyone who donated to the previous GoFundMe. Ajahn Kumāro was able to see his 97 year old mother in NYC!
