We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make the world. -The Buddha

Can you donate something to the Shikata Zen Ashram Project? We are a nonprofit organization that is trying to open a spiritual ashram nestled in the beautiful Ozark Mountains of Missouri. We will offer spiritual retreats, sheltering for homeless families and children, meditation classes and sessions for anyone. Dharma studies and talks for the public, an organic farmers market where we will donate goods to organizations that help the homeless and children in the local area. We will offer a shelter to those that are in need. We want to be a light to the local community and will also offer the land for organizations to come and study organic farming, holistic medicine, taichi, yoga and lots of other spiritual activities. But we can not do this without the publics help. Please help by donating if you can. Namaste. Shikata Zen Ashram and Sangha site: http://www.shikataenterprises.com
