DM in the News!

This morning my landlord asked me "Did you see the article?" "What article?" "Front page of the Arizona Daily Star." In today's paper is a great article about Diamond Mountain. We made the front page of the Tucson section of the paper. Get a copy or check out the online version. These are the two photos that were printed with the article.

Temple Push

Just posted on the DM website is the latest Director's Message. It talks about the push we are making to finish the temple by September. We have a great chance raise money right now. Somebody has agreed to match any temple donations up to $10,000 until April 30. That means, if we work hard, we could get $20,000 in the next two weeks. Also, Geshe-la has asked people to sign-up to help build and lay blocks this summer. Any commitment would be very helpful. It's really fun.

Wikid

For all y'all DM information junkies out there the Diamond Mountain Electronic Sangha site has been redesigned by our Techonology Director, Ted Lemon. The site in now equipted as a wiki. A funny name, but great results. It allows multiple users to update and edit the site which makes for quick changes. Now you can find emerging info on the next 3 year retreat, course downloads, info about the area, and other neat stuff. Check it out and thank Ted.

Service Day

This past Monday was the first community service days of the term. On these days all classes are canceled and everyone gets to get dirty and work on the land. Some people gardened, some worked on the Lama's retreat hut, I wokred on the temple which is coming along nicely. The next service day is this Tuesday, the 12th.
