This is what I get for subscribing to magazines such as Yoga Journal and Tricycle. I start getting literature proclaiming, “wisdom and compassion for social change.” Such is the case with the Buddhist Peace Fellowship. Sent on a baby blue trifold pamphlet, BPF outlined their vision (people from all backgrounds realizing their connection to each other and to the Earth – I’ve paraphrased it). Also included in the literature was information on BASE: Buddhist Alliance for Social Engagement, the Transformative Justice Program, the Young Adult Program, the Prison Program, and Turning Wheel (a spiritual publication). There’s information on how to get involved, how to send money, how to be in contact. The letter startsoff, “Dear Friend…” from Maia Duerr, Executive Director. How she knows I’m a friend I’ll never know, but I’m looking into it.

Hey there,
Well, it’s true that I don’t know you as a personal friend, but I’d like to think of you as a potential friend (as are all beings). Anyway, not sure if your post is a rant or something else, but apologies if the BPF material that we sent wasn’t welcomed. Like any nonprofit, we rely on membership to keep us going, so we were simply hoping to connect with like-minded souls.
At any rate, thank you for the mention and the link!
Be well,
Maia
Maia,
I am on a quest to document all of the charities I donate to, are involved in, as well as mention the ones that have caught me attention in one way or another. This was not a negative rant, merely a commentary on the literature I received. It is my hope that I spark interest in these charities and people click on the link to find out more.
