Many people have written me about the devastation in Burma following the cyclone, expressing their sorrow and frustration at the difficulties in ensuring aid in a time of such great suffering. There are some organizations that have been on the ground there, and this is one of them, established and run by people I know:

My time meditating in Burma was marked by the incredible generosity of the people there, who often had so little themselves. I think of them every day in gratitude. I deeply hope, despite the obstacles, that they be supported and cared for now.
