For 2,500 years, from the time of the Buddha’s life to the present, Buddhist communities have thrived by holding an empty bowl. For the early mendicant followers of the Buddha that meant living on alms, walking from door to door of the houses in a nearby village, holding an empty bowl, and receiving offerings of food. In modern times, the early Buddhist community’s simple life of living on alms has evolved into many forms. Buddha Eye Temple follows in this great tradition. We don’t meet our material needs by asking for payment when attending a teaching or class. We simply come to your door holding this empty bowl.

The offerings received continue to nourish a thriving temple community. In 2022 we fully restored programs that were eliminated or modified during the height of the pandemic and supported the office of the abbot as a full time position with salary and benefits similar to other clergy in the Eugene area. We have a well attended, full schedule of dharma talks, classes, discussion groups, lectures, body centered practices like Yoga and Qi Gong, meditation retreats, festivals, and special ceremonies. This is in addition to our ongoing weekly schedule of meditation, chanting, and opportunities to meet privately with a teacher for guidance. There is a lot happening! And people are finding their way to the spiritual medicine they need.

Please help us continue the vitality of our temple into 2023 and beyond by contributing toward our $67,000 year-end appeal goal. Meeting this goal will allow us to cover the 2022 budget and start 2023 on a firm footing.
