2010, the 7th Annual KTC Minnepolis Meditation-thon 8th - 15th March
Monday, February 22nd, 2010As many people on spiritual paths know, the first month of the Tibetan Lunar New Year is considered by Tibetan high lamas to be particularly auspicious for doing as much deep practice as one can. For several years practitioners and patrons at KTC Minneapolis, an Edina Buddhist Center which is part of the Home monastery of HH 17th Gyalwa Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje, Kagyu Lineage of Tibetan Buddhism, have had their yearly fundraising activity during this time period. People sit here in formless meditation for at least a week of 24 hour days during the first or second lunar month of each year. We ask those interested in supporting relief from suffering for all sentient beings to sponsor each minute of this healing, peaceful, meditation with a contribution of $1.00 per minute. We know this meditation is effective and we feel that there is an enormous amount of suffering in our world today, perhaps more than anyone alive has ever seen before, and the formless meditation we do in this annual event is of great benefit. Sponsorship of this meditation can be dedicated to a particular cause, person, other being, or relief of suffering for all sentient beings. If you know someone here, you can request that person do the meditation you are sponsoring, at a certain time, if you like. If you do meditation yourself, you can raise your own sponsors and come here to do your meditation. If the meditation you are sponsoring is dedicated to a special being we like very much to have a picture that does not have to be returned. As the title of this posting says, this year’s meditation will take place from March 8th - March 15th.
Call the Center (952) 926-5048 to reserve time to be one of the meditators, and/or to sponsor minutes for others doing meditation. Thank you.
