Location:
Washington DC United States
Occupation:
Mindfulness Community
I loan because:
We would like to help the people in Vietnam in gratitude for the mindfulness teachings that Thich Nhat Hanh has brought to the West.
About me:
The Washington Mindfulness Community, formed in 1989, is composed of men and women inspired by the teachings of Buddhism and of Thich Nhat Hanh, a contemporary Vietnamese Zen Master, peace activist and writer.

The mission of the Community is to nurture mindfulness, love, and understanding among those who participate in its activities and in the larger society.

Members come together to meditate, to deepen their understanding of the practice of mindfulness, to encourage and inspire each other through dharma discussions and mindful actions, to support each other through difficult times, and to celebrate the joys and wonders of life.

Recognizing that each person's peace and happiness are interwoven with the peace and happiness of others, the Washington Mindfulness Community offers activities that welcome the children, families, and companions of members. The community also organizes retreats, lectures, and other public events; supports communities and causes in accord with the Community's mission; and works with groups that relieve suffering through compassionate actions.

The WMC is incorporated as a Maryland non-profit religious institution, and all gifts are tax-deductible. The governing structure of the community includes a Practice Council, which makes decisions impacting community mindfulness practices and community life, and a Board of Directors.
