Empowering Spiritual Entrepreneurs
April 2009
PFC sponsored a feasibility study for a concert to raise awareness for Burma with the city of San Francisco and AT&T Park. PFC invited potential sponsors interested in Burma along with artists and other musical producers, academics, and advocates to form the basics for the concert.
The PFC Board of Advisors welcomed to the Partnerships For Change board Angela Alioto, Esq. and founder of the Knights Of Saint Francis, the Nuova Pornzucola, a Holy site in San Francisco and one of five Holy sites declared Holy by the Vatican, and U Kovida, a tehravedic Buddhist monk and leader of the Saffron Revolution in Burma.
PFC supports financially The Compassion Project (TCP) - founded by Tibetan monk The Venerable Phagyab Rinpoche, a survivor of Chinese prison. The Compassion Project seeks to support Tibetan refugees and offer vocation training and cultural assimilation in the Indian Communities. We are exploring projects and programs together. TCP was founded to bring the wisdom of Tibet’s Buddhist mind-sciences to the West to promote conflict resolution, non-violent communication, self-healing and universal compassion. Founded in 2008 under the spiritual direction of Phagyab Rinpoche, a ranking Buddhist lama-scholar from Tibet, TCP teaches techniques for developing mindfulness, stress-reduction, non-violent conflict resolution, compassion and mindbody well-being. TCP offers programs to teach mindfulness, emotional regulation, anger management and tools for developing compassion and empathy to incarcerated individuals. These techniques are taught in an ecumenical fashion to interested inmates.
PFC supports the Universal Yoga Center in the San Francisco California and the Dig Darshan School in Patna in state of Bihar India. Both were founded by Sri Swami Satya Brahamananda.
