Our Vision
To create a thousand Bodhisattvas with the Altruistic Short-Term Home-Leaving program.
About Us
On the first day of our Temporary Altruistic Home-Leaving in December 2016, I spoke to Ron (the owner of Camp Buckhorn) about the nature of the 250 monks and nuns at the camp:
“These people are currently full fledged Buddhist novice monks and nuns for the next 14 days. They are people like you, lay men and lay women who made the monastic vows for 14 days. Each have the purpose to dedicate their vows to someone: parents, siblings, relatives, friends, co-workers, etc… who are facing difficulties in life, who are severely ill, or who have passed away.”
Thinking about his mother, who had recently gone under surgery, Ron became tearful. He said he would do everything he could to support our group. He exceeded each and every one of my expectations.
