Sponsored Walk for Peace 🚶♂️🚶♀️

From Saltaire To Leeds Kadampa Meditation Center
Yorkshire Buddhist Centres Sponsored Walk
The four Kadampa Buddhist Centres of West Yorkshire (Leeds KMC, Buddha Land Centre in Keighley, Vajrapani Centre in Huddersfield and Ganden Centre in Halifax) will join together for a days gentle walk along the Leeds - Liverpool Canal. We will start in Saltaire, by the footbridge just opposite Salts Mill, and finish in KMC Leeds, which is very close to the Corn exchange. The full walk will take about six hours including quite long breaks, but you can join us at any point if you prefer to walk a shorter distance. More details of where we will stop for breaks will be provided soon.
When: Saturday 9th July 9am - 4pm (approx)
Where: Saltaire canal to Kadampa Meditation Centre, Leeds
Price: Free of charge

FUNDRAISING INFO
We are actively looking for a new location in Halifax for our precious Dharma Centre.
Hundreds of people have received benefit from the meditation classes and Buddhist study programmes we hold at the North Bridge building; finding real methods to create inner peace and ways to think more positively in this busy, modern world.
As our education programme has grown it has become clearer and clearer, especially during Covid times, that our current building is no longer suitable for our aims and objectives.
We would like to relocate a building that can help us build a stronger residential and extended community, and provide a peaceful environment more conducive to a meditation and study space.
We are looking for somewhere with a large meditation room, outdoor space, public transport links and private parking.
This will help us bring the limitless benefit of Kadam Dharma to many more people who are in desperate need of refuge in these difficult and stressful times.
In order to raise the relevant funds towards a building deposit and moving costs we are holding a sponsored walk.
