A Quilt of Experience
Stories by members of BPF's BASE
Program
In April
1995, BPF started the BASE program. Participants worked in a
hospice, a cancer resource center, a medical clinic for homeless
people, a soup kitchen, in environmental education, and with
anti-nuclear organizations. An innovative aspect of the program
was the ongoing group meetings and the retreats where members
had the opportunity to deepen their understanding of the interface
of Buddhist practice with "social change practice."
The following writing comes from members of the 1995 BASE pilot
program.
