Message from the Board of Directors about Covid-19

Dear Kadampa Center Community,
There is so much information, misinformation, disinformation... and fear... regarding Covid-19.
"We have an opportunity to learn a great deal about health hygiene and limiting the spread of innumerable transmissible diseases in our society. Let's meet this challenge together in the best spirit of compassion for others, patience, and above all, an unfailing effort to seek truth, facts and knowledge as opposed to conjecture, speculation and catastrophizing."
Please remember to practice effective...

Thanks go out this week to David Strevel, Cary Brief and Paul Krebs who worked hard repairing current leaks in our roof as well as preventative maintenance. They also replaced the stained ceiling tiles for a fresh new look. It takes many hands to keep our wonderful Center well maintained and we appreciate the labor and time involved from our marvelous volunteers. Thanks guys!

We are all dealing with fear on a level not faced before with the news of Covid-19. Everyone has advice and is sharing information. Thought a quote might be just enough information for today.
“I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.” ~ Nelson Mandela
