The Rime Center is entering an exciting new phase. We have submitted an offer on the Northmoor building and are now preparing the Rime Sangha House for sale. To make this transition possible, we need your help.
A storage pod will arrive on July 1, and our goal is to have everything packed and moved into the pod by July 8 so our real estate agent can list the property by July 10.
We will be packing and moving boxes during the following times:
Whether you can help for an hour or several hours, your support will make a tremendous difference. The Rime Center has always been built through the generosity and dedication of our sangha, and this move is another opportunity for us to work together in service of the Dharma.

Together we can continue the work of our founders, Lama Chuck and Mary. Building a community that values the Buddha’s teachings of love, compassion, and wisdom. This GivingTuesday please consider making a donation to the Rime Center’s Temple Fund.
