A Heartfelt Request for Support: FPMT meeting in Nepal and Solitary Meditation Retreat

I’m reaching out to ask for your support in an important personal and spiritual journey. As many of you know, I work with the wonderful community at Chandrakirti Meditation Centre https://www.chandrakirti.co.nz/, part of the global FPMT network. Our aim "to provides a peaceful harmonious environment where anyone can learn and practice tools for the mind to develop wisdom, compassion, and happiness in daily life". I am deeply honored to contribute to this work.

In April 2025, I will attend a key FPMT international meeting at Kopan Monastery in Nepal https://kopanmonastery.com/. Insights and decisions made there will help guide our collective efforts to serve others.

Following this, I am planning to do a 7-day retreat offered at Kopan monestary https://kopanmonastery.com/wheel-of-sharp-weapons-retreat followed by a one month solitary Lam rim retreat in the mountains of Nepal. This rare opportunity will allow me to deepen my meditation practice and cultivate greater wisdom and compassion.

As His Holiness the Dalai Lama has said, “To create world peace, we must first cultivate inner peace.” Meditation focused on compassion, loving-kindness, and wisdom can address the collective stress, anxiety, and conflict in our world; benefiting both individuals and communities, helping to raise positive energy that ripples out to uplift the collective.

This is my aim, and this is where I need your help. Every donation, big or small, will bring me closer to this journey.

With gratitude

Britta
