“I think meditation is extremely important and don’t ever let anybody tell you that it’s just not having any impact on the world. You’re changing the fundamental fabric of the cosmos when you meditate.”
Ken Wilber
Thanks very much to the people who sat in meditation, the people who sponsored each minute and the people who did both - again this year - to make another successful MEDITATION-THON for KTC Minneapolis. We are grateful to be able to do this work in this place in this lifetime.
Each year just prior to Losar, the Tibetan Lunar New Year, our Center is open for sitting meditation for seven days straight, 24 hours a day, dedicating all of the meditation to relief from suffering for all sentient beings. KTC asks sangha, patrons & volunteers to sit in meditation during this time and raise sponsorship from friends, family, coworkers, businesses and others at the rate of a minimum of $1 for each minute of this peaceful, healing meditation.
Other than membership pledges, this event is our one major yearly source of funds to help defray our operating expenses, and equally importantly, it is a genuine blessing for all it touches. To balance our budget we need it to raise several thousand dollars, as it has historically done in the past. JOIN US. Fill out our Contact Form and send it back to us, including the time period(s) that you will be here to do your meditation. When you come to do your medition bring the money you have raised in pledges in an envelope with your name on it and put the envelope in the donation basket. Please note: We need valid contact information, including phone number and email address, on the Contact Form in order to confirm your participation with you.
We gratefully accept donations in support of this event from those who are unable to come to sit in meditation here but would like to be connected to this healing activity. Send donations in any amount to the Center. We will allocate your donation to support a meditator’s time. To capture the feeling of participating in this event you can read blog comments by 2006 meditation participants discussing their experience here.
