The Rime Center Needs Your Help!

On Sunday February 10th at the town hall meeting the Rime Board announced that the Rime Center’s coffers are low and that the sangha will have to leave its current location if things don’t improve.

Our current monthly cost for rent and overhead expenses are $5,500. Unfortunately through the Jindak Community, our monthly giving program, we receive regular contributions each month at around $3,000. This means that the Rime Center has been operating at a deficit, depleting our resources. If we are unable to reach our goal of raising $5,500 a month then the Rime Center will no longer be able to afford to stay at our current location.

We need your financial support, please consider becoming a Jindak Community member by making a monthly suggested contribution of $108. You can even contribute as little as $10 a month either through the link below or by filling out an ACH form at the center.

The timing is urgent as Lama Matt has given us until March 31st to reach our goal. If we are unable to do so then the Rime sangha will have to begin making plans to leave our current location and relocate.

Meditations by Lama Matthew Rice – Winter/Spring 2019

To Be an Inclusive Spiritual Community in Kansas City

The Rime Buddhist Center founder, Lama Chuck, challenged us as a sangha to be one of the most welcoming spiritual communities in Kansas City. You can see that manifested today in our Service Guild, with our greeters on Sunday mornings, the volunteers in the Gift Shop, and the meditation leaders on Wednesday evenings. It’s wonderful to see sangha members take the time to welcome people to the Rime Center. Continue reading
