We just wanted to update you on the use of the much needed funds! Your donations have already been put to good use in the desire of bringing ultimate peace and happiness to communities in New Jersey.

  • Throughout the year we will be using part of the $15,513 which was received to cover our operating expense deficit.
    We have selected a new design for the website, have a photographer scheduled to take pictures and are in the process of having a center logo designed.
  • The monthly funds for covering health insurance for our ordained sangha member are also occurring.
  • The last goal was to use funds to establish a shrine for the Shrewsbury site. So far a portable audio system was purchased. More planning is in progress for Shrewsbury and we will communicate those decisions throughout the year.

Again, thank you for all you do for our organization, wishing you inner peace from all of us at the Dharmachakra Buddhist Center.

with Peter Kurczynski

Let go of mindwords, thoughts and distractions.  Let go of trying to control your mind, your life, other people, and instead learn to accept each moment as it is.  The meditation known as clarity of mind unifies and connects every aspect of our life.  It fills us with wonder at the vividness of experience itself.  Go deeper.  Live fully.  Discover the universe in a single moment.
