MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The 2017 Light of the Path and Family Dharma Camp were a resounding success! Wow! Wow! Wow! From the bottom of our hearts - thank you to all of the participants and the dozens of volunteers who made it possible. We also want to thank all the people who made Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s visit here to Kadampa Center such a beautiful event.
Our beautiful new Lama Atisha statue is an amazing addition to our Center as well as the fulfillment of Lama Zopa Rinpoche's wishes. Donations from many people made it possible to bring Lama Atisha here -- thank you!
We are working on our 2018 Budget and looking forward to another wonderful year for our Center.
much love,
Kadampa Center's Board of Directors

BEARING THE UNBEARABLE: LOVE, LOSS, AND THE HEARTBREAKING PATH OF GRIEF
~By Joanne Cacciatore
When a loved one dies, the pain of loss can feel unbearable, and the process of grieving can feel wild and nonlinear. Organized into fifty-two short chapters, this is a companion for life’s most difficult times, revealing how grief can open our hearts to connection, compassion, and the very essence of our shared humanity.

DHARMA FRIENDS VOLUNTEER AT NC STATE FAIR
PEACE BOOTH
Kadampa Center, in affiliation with the Triangle Interfaith Alliance, volunteered at the Peace Booth located in the Education Building at the North Carolina State Fair. Each year the goal of the booth is to provide opportunities for peace education, consciousness raising, information on how to become involved in an existing peace group, and examples of positive action that enables fairgoers to feel that they have done something for peace.
Through Kadampa Center's affiliation with Triangle Interfaith Alliance, Kadampa Center Outreach seeks to provide opportunities to get to know people of all faiths and join together in activities of goodwill and compassion for others.
