Neil: The Powerful Influence of Environment
December 17, 2018
Since I was a teenager, I’ve been around many Dharma Centers. My dad and I helped primarily with building projects throughout the UK in Liverpool, Manchester, Preston and even got to do some construction on the historical priory building at Manjushri [the New Kadampa Tradition’s Mother Center].
Years later, I find myself drawn to KMC NYC.
It’s a place of calm and tranquility, and I know if I put myself in this environment, I’m more likely to do things that are good for me and for others.
There is something about this space that’s definitely not ordinary.
