One of our teachers from the recent dharma retreat in NJ was Bante Bikhu Bodhi. A great man, a monk in the Theravada tradition who works closely with Chan monks, Zen practitioners, etc. Anyway, check it out.

Thank you, Chuck. There should be more Buddhist charities like that. Another we should look to is The Tzu Chi Foundation founded by Taiwanese nun Master Cheng Yen ...

I am hoping that we will see more such organizations in western Buddhism in the coming years.
