Thank you to all who joined us for our 2021 Buddhist Action to Feed the Hungry event season! This fall, BGR hosted two online Dharma gatherings featuring talks by BGR founder Ven. Bhikkhu Bodhi and other Buddhist teachers. Our Pacific/Mountain U.S. gathering was held on October 2. Our Eastern/Central U.S. gathering was held on October 30.
Our Pacific/Mountain gathering was a wonderful success, featuring talks by teachers including Ven. Thubten Chodron, abbess of Sravasti Abbey; Abbot Hozan Senauke from Berkeley Zen Center; Rev. Jin Chuan from Berkeley Buddhist Monastery; Rev. Kuwahara from Berkeley Buddhist Temple; Ayya Dhammadipa, founder of the Dassanāya Buddhist Community; and Ven. Lekshe Tsomo from Sakyadhita International Association of Buddhist Women and the Jamyang Foundation.
Featured teachers at our Eastern/Central gathering included Roshi Joan Hoeberichts, of Heart Circle Sangha, Ridgewood, N.J.; Ven. Khenmo Drolma, of Vajra Dakini Nunnery; Ven. Myokei Shonin, of Myoken-Ji Temple, Nichiren Buddhist Sangha of Texas; Rev. Greg Snyder, of Union Theological Seminary; and Rev. Doyeon Park, of Buddhist Council of New York.
One in-person Walk to Feed the Hungry was held on October 2, in Collinsville, Connecticut. We are grateful to all who walked with us!
