David Martin

A spiritual seeker for many years, David was introduced to Natural Dharma Fellowship and Tibetan Buddhism in 2014 by a dear friend. He was drawn to the Margha Program by the possibility that it could open a doorway to deep self-compassion. He has participated in the program continuously since 2015 and was delighted to be offered the opportunity to begin serving as a Mitra beginning in 2024. It is his privilege to share this journey with others and to have the opportunity to pass along some of the many benefits he has received.

Participation in the Margha Program has enabled David to become more accepting of himself and of others, dear ones, strangers, and difficult ones alike. He is grateful that his practice enables him to serve his family and friends, as well as his favorite charitable organizations, with greater insight and energy. David is repeatedly moved by the lovingkindness that arises when tenderness and vulnerability are embraced.
