In reflecting on the past year, we at Buddhist
Global Relief are filled with gratitude for each of the members of our
global community—our donors, our supporters, and the thousands of people
around the world whom BGR serves.
Like a raindrop joining with others to become a river, your generosity joins with that of others to become the gift of hope for those in need. So your act of compassion may provide food to a hungry child in Mongolia or Haiti or Cameroon; a scholarship for an impoverished young woman in India or Cambodia; and desperately needed aid to thousands of other people around the world. What a beautiful example of the interconnection of all beings!
As we prepare to welcome the new year, we recommit together to building a world in which all children have enough to eat, all people are blessed with peace, justice, and the fulfillment of their material needs, and all of the Earth’s inhabitants collaborate in protecting the delicate web of life and the natural environment that sustains us.
Please join us on the evening of January 6 for a special New Year blessing ceremony, and all day on January 7, as Ven. Bhikkhu Bodhi leads us in meditation, learning, and reflection to welcome in the new year. He is joined by Dassanāya Buddhist Community founder Ayyā Dhammadīpa; Roshi Joan Hoeberichts of Heart Circle Sangha; and Uganda Buddhist Center founder and abbot Bhante Buddharakkita in an online retreat, “Anchoring Our Lives in the Dharma.”
There is no cost for the retreat, but all donations given will benefit Buddhist Global Relief. Please give as your means allow. Your generous contribution will support BGR’s work to feed the hungry, to educate children in need, to support sustainable agriculture, and to empower vulnerable women.
