🌱 Spreading Seeds of Compassion for Ukraine Through SMZC 🌱

MORE UPDATE on Supporting Ukraine Now Through SMZC

STILL, This is not the time for SMZC/Genjoji to ask for additional funds. However, We are very happy to announce we have collected over $7,500 dollars last month. This direct connection to UKRAINE appeared from one of our members, because our hearts are open beyond our thinking mind. So, this auspicious coincidence matched our compassion to help. This dire crisis is not just for our community but anyone who feels this inner plea. Your hearts are already open; then join us with any donation which is indeed beyond measure. Your karma of good action is beneficial not only for Ukraine, for the whole world and for yourselves as well……………

Gassho,

Zensan Jakusho Kwong, Abbot of Sonoma Mountain Zen Center / Genjoji

🇺🇦 Fundraising Update 🇺🇦

💙 Thank you so much the Zen Center and supporters for your continued generous donations to help our efforts in Ukraine. Every day there are different challenges; gas shortages are big one right now.

But with all of your contributions, we are able to keep moving forward with getting food, gas stoves, first aid, and other important supplies to all of these people who are struggling to make sense of this new reality. When I lived in Ukraine, I gained a deep love for gardening and farming from these amazing people.

They have amazing land/soil, and they know how to cultivate and work it. Almost everyone I knew there had some size of garden. And it made my heart so happy to see that our guys are now distributing many varieties of seeds to people! Fruits and vegetables that they can start planting.

Here are a few of our most recent photos. I will continue to send updates. Thank you all again. 💙
