The Open Centre* in Spain is gaining support from leaders in ecology and spirituality all over the
world, and individual donors have given or committed to give $220,000 (160,000 Euros) by August
this year.  Open Dharma needs your help to raise enough money to buy the ideal property to create
this space of human and ecological diversity dedicated to awakening the full potential in life.
(For more info, see below and www.opencentre.es)

Please bring your energy to the flow:

1) Give a small donation of 20 Euros (about $25) right now: we have sent this email to 1,400
people.  If each and every one of you give just 20 Euros BY MAY 201st, the Open Centre will have
28,000 Euros towards our total.

2) HELP US RAISE:

      ~the 100,000 Euros ($137,000) needed BY MAY 28, 2007.
      ~the 730,000 Euros ($1,000,000) needed BY MARCH, 2008.

IF EACH PERSON IN THE Open Dharma and Open Centre E-GROUPS GIVES 100 EUROS, together we have the
first payment for the Centre.
IF EACH PERSON IN THE e-GROUPs GIVES 950 EUROS, together we already have the total amount needed
to create the Open Centre.

3) Send this email to your friends.  Copy, paste, add a personal note, and send.
For every 5 people we all send this message to, we reach 7,000 more people who may be interested
in supporting this beautiful Centre. If those 7,000 people then give 20 Euros, together we have
140,000 Euros to bring this momentum to fruition.

4) IF YOU PLAN A LARGER DONATION:

      ~please DONATE BY MAY 28, 2007, if you can.
      ~if you cannot give by May 28, please LET US KNOW HOW MUCH YOU INTEND TO GIVE AND WHEN.
Kindly email to generosity (AT) opendharma.org
      ~for donations over 500 Euros, please transfer funds directly to the Spanish account (or

*ABOUT THE OPEN CENTRE: a unique place where diverse people can learn to live a fulfilled life, in
harmony with ourselves, each other, and the planet.   The world has perhaps never needed us to
come together more.

~Diverse people: different cultures, ages, vocations, and religions or no religion.
~Living a fulfilled life: finding out what this life is for, and living by our priorities.
~Harmony with ourselves: releasing unnecessary stress and resting in our inner wisdom.
~Harmony with each other: not stopping with inner peace, but letting love overflow into our own
creativity, intimacy, communication, families, and communities.
~Harmony with the planet: we can make the shift to ecological sanity not just because we
should--but because living in rich contact with nature is such a fulfilling way to live.  

MANY THANKS from everyone and to everyone who has already contributed so much money, time, energy,
and expertise to this wonderful, growing project.

With deep respect,
Jaya Ashmore, Gemma Polo, and Ajay Singh
