Description

The mission of Dawn Mountain is threefold: As a Tibetan temple it offers traditional Buddhist teachings tailored towards contemporary Americans. Second, as a community center it provides programs that promote physical and mental well-being independent of any religious orientation. And third, as a research institute they support translation of materials on Tibetan philosophy, ritual and culture. In 2010 the Foundation made a grant of $2,500 to support four symposia entitled "The Knowing Body: Art and the Discovery of Self."

Results / Update

I want to thank the Lenz Foundation again for so kindly giving us a grant of $2,500, especially since it was given during an economic downturn that made us all the more inspired by your confidence in us.
