Mia’s Maha Trail-a-thon
to benefit the Mahabodhi Stupa at Land of Medicine Buddha
An Inspiring Offering from 11 year old Mia Blue Stafford
Eleven years old, Mia Blue Stafford, is inspired to help Land of Medicine Buddha complete the building of the Mahabodhi Stupa.
Realizing that she herself couldn’t contribute much in the way of a monetary donation, Mia decided to combine her love of running with her altruistic intention by completing 108 circumambulations (that’s 108 miles!) of the Eight Verses Pilgrimage Trail with the hope that “people around the world would offer auspicious amounts” toward the completion of the project.
Mia will run 7 miles, twice a week until the completion of 108 miles, starting on July 6, 2015, the auspicious date of His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s 80th birthday.
Event: 108 Miles of Merit on the Eight Verses Pilgrimage Trail
Date for sponsorship: June 23 – July 23
Start Date for the Trail-a-thon: July 6 at 7pm
With light offerings at the Stupa, a walking pilgrimage around the Eight Verses Trail and prayers for the Long Life of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
