For 30 years, the Rime Buddhist Center has been a sanctuary of compassion, wisdom, and community in the heart of Kansas City. Thousands of practitioners—newcomers, longtime students, and families alike—have discovered peace, connection, and purpose within our walls. From meditation classes and Dharma talks to community service and cultural programs, the Rime Center has touched lives in profound and lasting ways.
As we look to the future, we are entering an exciting new chapter. Our community is growing, our needs are expanding, and our vision for the next 30 years is becoming clear.
Our Goal: $30,000 for the 2026 Building Fund
This Giving Tuesday, we are raising funds to support the remodel of the Rime Sangha House and the creation of an expanded shrine room—a spacious, welcoming environment designed to deepen practice and strengthen community.
Your generosity helps us:
- Create a larger, more accessible shrine room for meditation, teachings, and ceremonies
- Revitalize the Sangha House for classes, study groups, retreats, and children’s programs
- Build a durable foundation for future generations of practitioners
- Continue offering a refuge of peace and spiritual growth to Kansas City
