Co-Hosted by
Howie Cohn and Terry Magee

 “The cultivation of generosity means developing a sharing intent, and from there learning to see one’s life as part of a whole system rather than as an individual fragment thrown together with others in a haphazard way.”
~ Ajahn Sucitto 

Please join our online gathering to honor and support IMT founder Anna Douglas. Anna recently stepped down as IMT’s guiding teacher in order to rest and care for her health, after 11 years of leadership and sharing her Dharma wisdom, Now we have an opportunity to care for her materially, financially, in support of her journey onward. The Benefit will include meditation and sharing.

From Anna

In this passing moment karma ripens
and all things come to be.
I vow to choose what is:
If there is cost, I choose to pay.
If there is need, I choose to give.
If there is pain, I choose to feel.
If there is sorrow, I choose to grieve.
When burning -- I choose heat.
When calm -- I choose peace.
When starving -- I choose hunger.
When happy -- I choose joy.
Whom I encounter, I choose to meet.
What I shoulder, I choose to bear.
When it is my death, I choose to die.
Where this takes me, I choose to go.
Being with what is -- I respond to what is.

This life is as real as a dream;
the one who knows it cannot be found;
May all Buddhas and Wise Ones
help me live this vow.

May the Blessings of Dharma surround you and protect you always!

With a warm heart,
Anna
