Hayward Fundraiser 2019 Drawn to a Successful Close

Dear Noble Community,

Bodhi Charity Foundation Fundraising Event in Hayward, California on Sunday, September 8th, 2019 was drawn to a close with proceedings of $11,000.

With a relatively smaller crowd than we expected, yet a sense of deep concern and compassion was felt in the hall as those who were present watched photos and videos from the charity trip in Vietnam that the Organization organized this past July, 2019. As images of children with disabilities, the orphans, students of poor families, leprosy patients, deserted people, and especially the terminally ill monastics flashed on the screen, many could not hold their tears; and their compassion turned to actions as they began to give generously. One donor upon seeing the $10,776 proceedings announced on Facebook immediately contacted us and offered to donate $224 via Venmo to make the proceedings an even $11,000.

As the Buddha once taught, “The scent of flowers - sandlewood, jasmine, and rosebay – doesn’t go against the wind; but the scent of a virtuous person does travel against the wind; it spreads in all directions” (Dhammapada). The fundraising hall this afternoon was filled with the scent of compassion, and it seems to have continued to spread in all directions!

The Organization would like to express our deepest gratitude to the Monastics, the generous support from our Donors, and importantly all the big and small efforts from our Members and Friends to make this event a successful one.

Because it would be impossible not to make any mistake during the course of the event, we sincerely ask for your forgiveness if there was any act from our part that caused you disappointment. We especially welcome your feedback so that we could learn to make future events better.

With deep gratitude,

Bodhi Charity Foundation

Dear Noble Community.

Bodhi Charity Foundation 1st Fundraising Event in San Jose, California, USA on Saturday, June 8th, 2019 was drawn to a successful close.

With more than 25 Vietnamese gourmet vegetarian dishes and an awesome music program featuring Hương Từ Bi Group, the Veggie Banquet created an energy of compassion and how to nourish it by sharing our resources with others in need; and importantly, the proceedings as of the closing of the banquet was $10,325!

I believe this amount will slightly increase in the coming days as many folks called in and asked for the address so they can mail in the checks.

The Organization would like to express our deepest gratitude to the Venerable Monastics for the solemn presence, the generous support from our Donors, and importantly all the big and small effort from our Members and Friends to make this event possible.

Because it would be impossible not to make any mistake during the course of the event, we sincerely ask for your forgiveness if there was any act that caused you disappointment. We especially welcome your feedback in an effort to make our future events better.

With Gratitude,
Bodhi Charity Foundation
