Second Annual Meditation-Thon Set for Feb. 1-8
Just prior to the Tibetan New Year, KTC Sangha and guests will again sit in meditation for seven days straight, 24 hours a day, for the benefit of all beings. The Meditation-thon will begin at 8 a.m. on February 1, 2005 and continue through 8 a.m. on February 8. The Tibetan New Year falls on February 9. KTC is again seeking sponsors, both individual and business.
The financial support generated by this event is intended to accomplish four objectives:
- To preserve and provide meditation teachings and ancient Tibetan Buddhist practices;
- Build awareness of the benefits of meditation;
- Benefit the community and help individuals with special requests;
- Dedicate all Meditation-thon sittings to relieve suffering for all beings.
