Gomez, MD (Baltimore and Beyond Mindfulness Community, Order of Interbeing/Tiep Hien), Myokei Caine-Barrett Shonin (Nichiren Buddhist Sangha of Texas, Nichiren Shu), Stacy McClendon (Program Director of DR2, Common Ground Meditation Center, Vipassana), Martin Applebaum (Being Without Self, Rinzai Zen), Narayan Helen Liebenson (Insight Meditation Society, Cambridge) visited Guo Gu (Chan, Tallahassee Chan Center) in Tallahassee, FL in March 2024 for an advisory board meeting for Dharma Relief 2.
What is Dharma Relief 2?
“Healing Racial Trauma Through Buddhist Communities” is an initiative recognizing Black Dharma teachers/leaders as powerfully positioned to offer healing and support through a Buddhist lens for African-descendant communities in the United States. These teachers/leaders impact the intergenerational, historical, and continuing present-day trauma on African-descended people.
DR2, through the generous dāna (donations) of many, is funding five individual Black Dharma Teacher/Leader Fellowships to provide the community and material resources they need to carry on their profound work. Fellows receive a monthly dāna offer of $1,000.00 USD to use as they see fit to best support their livelihood and well-being. The fellowships began in October of 2023 and will continue for one year.
