How to Help

How Our Center Exists

After 10 years as a “virtual” center, our dream of a home came true in 2007. Our program is growing, and we are welcoming new students every week. Although we are affiliated with the FPMT organization, we are still locally-supported. The center does not receive any funding from the International Office. GGBC exists entirely through the kindness of our teachers, and the generosity of our students.

The Dharma Is Free, The Center Is Not.

Membership
We still depend largely on members who have pledged monthly contributions. See our page about the Membership Program.

Volunteering
The work of the center is done by volunteers. See our Volunteer page regarding current volunteering needs.
