ANNOUNCING! Under the direction and vision of Yangsi Rinpoche, the mandala of Maitripa College is growing! We are excited to bring you the opportunity of Maitripa Mandala Membership in order to connect you more closely to our vision, and to increase support for sustaining and expanding our many projects and the benefits they bring to countless beings, and especially to you, our friends!
MOVING TOWARD A FISCALLY SUSTAINABLE MODEL
While the Mandala’s vision and potential is unlimited, our present resources are not! In fact, Maitripa College has been subsidizing community programming for many years. We realize that in order to live our values in our operations, and to create an innovative and transformative institution for the study and practice of dharma that will endure long beyond our lifetimes, we must focus on achieving a more fiscally sustainable model.
To this end, this year, we are introducing the Maitripa Mandala Membership opportunity, along with transparent suggested donation tiers for registration events, in order to sustain and strengthen our foundation, the College and Jokhang community. Generous patrons like you will enable us to go beyond breaking even to actualize our growth potential, while also offering support for expanding the mandala through the creation of the Maitripa Tara School and the Maitripa Rabjungma Community. We are also introducing new ways to connect!
MEMBERSHIP IN THE MAITRIPA MANDALA
Members of the Maitripa Mandala provide steady support to the mandala as a whole in the form of recurring monthly donations, at whatever level you choose. By giving year-round, you demonstrate that you value belonging to a community that is committed to benefiting beings and financially responsible stewardship.
As part of this initiative, we are excited to newly offer our Members special updates from the mandala. We will show you what your recurring monthly donation supports by taking you behind the scenes and into programs and projects! Look for regular bulletins with videos, photos, news, resources, and opportunities in your Inbox when you become a recurring donor.
As an expression of our gratitude, we will also offer members at any level:
- Early news of upcoming events and first opportunities to register for limited spaces
- Special rates whenever possible for retreats and workshops
- Unlimited access to freely offered dharma practices and teachings from introductory to advanced levels of study and practice, including Sunday morning teachings and practices, monthly pujas, and study group
- Patronage privileges for the James A Blumenthal Library
- Video clips from classes, talks, and teacher interviews
- Access to appointments with campus chaplain, faculty, and career advisors
- Access to Spiritual Care Conversations and community support
