Join Us to Meet a $15,000 Challenge to Complete
Ven. Chodron's Writing Studio


Dear Friends of Sravasti Abbey,

We have been challenged! And we're inviting your
generosity to help us meet that challenge by October
17.

Five good friends of the Abbey challenge us to offer
the funds needed to cover costs for a private writing
studio/meditation cabin
(http://www.sravastiabbey.org/summer2005projects.html)
now under construction, for Ven. Chodron to write,
reflect, and practice.


Collectively, these wonderful anonymous donors will
match our gifts dollar for dollar up to $15,000.

That means our combined gifts would total
$30,000enough to complete the writing studio and
support the remodeling of the barn into a much-needed
community room.

Why October 17? That's the date Ven. Chodron moved to
the Abbey in 2003.

Has any of Ven. Chodron's books: Working with Anger,
Open Heart, Clear Mind, How to Free your Mind: Tara
the Liberator or a host of others ever touched your
heart? If so, please consider repaying that kindness
by making an offering now to meet this generous
challenge.

to make your offering on-line or to find out how to
send your check.

Let's give Ven. Chodron the best possible anniversary
present a private place to do her work as she
continues to develop the monastic training program,
write, work with prisoners, teach around the world,
and, of course, deepen her own practice.

Your gift will help spread the Dharma to every reader
of Venerable Chodron's books past, present, and
future. Through the merit of our offerings, may
Sravasti Abbey flourish for a long time to come and
its residents and students teach the path to
enlightenment to countless beings.

Thanks so much for your support!


Kevin Conlin, Kathleen Herron, Nerea Keesee, Leak
Kosik, Colin Lingle, Barbara McDaniel, Nanc Nesbitt,
and Bill Wilmot for all the Friends of Sravasti Abbey

P.S. The construction team still needs volunteers to
finish the building this fall. No special skills are
necessary. Please consider a visit to the Abbey to
