From Karuna Fundraisers on Fri, 6 Dec, 2024 - 08:46

Plant Tomorrow, Today.

Climate change is hitting the world’s poorest communities the hardest. Families are losing their homes and livelihoods because of floods, droughts, and failing crops. Many don’t have the resources to adapt, but together, we can help.

At Karuna, we’re working with local communities to tackle this crisis by:

From Community Highlights on Tue, 26 Nov, 2024 - 15:41

Are UFOs real? And what could they possibly have to do with Buddhism? This video takes you on a journey into the mysterious liminal realm—a space where the boundaries between the material and the imaginal blur. By exploring the connection between UFO encounters and spiritual experiences, we uncover how these phenomena point to deeper dimensions of human consciousness. Discover why reconnecting with this realm is essential for modern society and how it can transform our understanding of reality.
