The current focus of the MOCD community is completing the construction of an Enlightenment Stupa. A stupa is a representation of the mind of a Buddha, and serves as a focal point for pilgrimage and support for contemplative practice. It also has a profound effect on the environment, balancing and enriching the elements of a region. Please join us in this project by offering your time, connections, resources, and aspirations.<\/p>\n
