Tonglen Service Grants

Each of these grants gives each recipient part-time or full-time support so they can work to support ACI as a staff member. Applicants for the grant will be expected to (1) maintain and keep a journal record (which will be checked!) of a serious daily practice, with at least 30 minutes of daily tonglen meditation; (2) go through training and work as a staff member in fields such as online tech, organizational support skills, graphic arts, online translator, or similar tasks; and (3) participate happily in related “dirty work”--logistical tasks that we all need to share, like kitchen or cleaning service.

Recipients of a Tonglen Service Grant can apply to work out of their homes anywhere in the world; or to work at ACI's offices in Sedona, Arizona, USA; or at Diamond Mountain Retreat Center in Bowie, Arizona.

Our goal is to reach $100,000 by the end of the year!
