Dear PDN Members and Friends,

We are in the final weeks of our 2010 Year End fundraising campaign.  You may have received one of our fundraising appeals and be considering whether or how much to invest in our mission and work of transforming society one life at a time through the power of meditation and the Dharma.  Please make a generous donation at this time and help us assure that every prisoner and prisoner worker has access to the best mindfulness-based programs available.

We reach tens of thousands of prisoners, prison staff, former prisoners, family members, at-risk youth and volunteers every year in our efforts to make these transformative practices and teachings universally available.  Please help us reach the hundreds of thousands who hunger for a new vision for their lives and the skills and means to actualize a brighter, safer, healthier future for themselves, their families, their communities and all of us.

Please donate now at: http://www.prisondharmanetwork.org/donate.html

“I have been honored to serve as a spiritual advisor to the Prison Dharma Network since its founding and fully endorse the work they continue to accomplish.  Through my own experience with prisoners, I have directly witnessed the transformative potential of prison meditation programs. Please support Prison Dharma Network in any way you can.”

Pema Chodron

"I have tremendous respect for the work of the Prison Dharma Network. It nurtures freedom, inner peace, and human kindness in places where there is precious little of it... a true example of rehabilitation in its deepest sense: learning to live inside (one's own body and heart) again. This is necessary work in our society, which, believe it or not, incarcerates a higher percentage of its population than any other country in the world."
Jon Kabat-Zinn

“During 14 years in prison, my own Dharma practice and the support of Dharma friends helped me turn the humiliation and devastation of imprisonment into a powerful path of transformation.”   PDN Founder, Fleet Maull

Wishing you a very peaceful and joyful holiday season and prosperous and healthy New Year,

Fleet Maull
