DVA President and long-time Board Member, Bhante Sathi and Executive Director, Andrea Diaz recently returned from our annual trip to Asia to visit our teams in Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Vietnam.

This was a special visit as it was the first time Bhante Sathi met our Thailand and Vietnam teams in person.

We held many key meetings that will shape our strategy for the future and help us save even more animals!

Please be sure to subscribe to our newsletter to hear all about the visit and our plans to encourage plant-based amongst Buddhist monastics and practitioners.

In the journey toward spiritual awakening, we often become our own harshest critics, creating suffering through self-judgment and inner resistance.

This retreat invites you to cultivate the profound union of wisdom (Prajñā) and compassion (Karuṇā) through Buddhist meditation practices, offering tools to develop both clear insight and loving-kindness toward yourself.

Drawing on timeless teachings of mindfulness, loving-kindness, and wisdom cultivation, participants will explore how to nurture a mind and heart that embrace both understanding and gentle acceptance.
