Run, Kagyu, Run!

To help raise money for the building of a new gompa, or meditation hall, at our Europe Center in Germany (www.europe-center.org), Diamond Way Buddhist centres from all over the world are taking part in the 5th annual Kagyu Run on 21 September 2008.

Friends are invited to run / cycle / swim / walk as many kilometers as possible and are sponsored by other friends from other Diamond Way centres from around the world. The event ends with a meditation that is streamed over the internet, to allow everyone to join (exact time tbc).

The event works like this:

Register:         runners and sponsors register on this website, and are assigned randomly to your international partner.

Runners:        run as many kilometers as you can and want to, every step towards the Europe Center counts.

Sponsors:        transform the kilometers of “their” runner(s) into $$$ and donate the sum for the Europe center.

If you can, please register as both a runner and a sponsor – this way you’ll make two connections to the worldwide sangha – someone, somewhere will be your sponsor, and you have the honour of sponsoring someone else.

We’ve got just under 3 three weeks left to train! Get down the gym! Go on – you know it makes sense… 🙂

If you’d like to join us, we’ll be running on Hong Kong island, please get in touch.
