THE OAKWOOD CENTER a Non-Medical, Non-Pharmacological, Meditation- Based, Residential Center for the Treatment of Combat Related Post Traumatic Stress Fall 08 THE OAKWOOD CENTER a non-medical, non-pharmacological, meditation- based, residential center for the treatment of combat related post traumatic stress. A BUSINESS PROPOSAL 548 Mary Esther Cutoff NW, PMB 319, Fort Walton Beach, Florida, 32548 Phone: 978- 376- 4593 or 850- 582- 2740 E - Mail: [email protected] or [email protected], http://www.zaltho.org Business Proposal Oakwood Center A non-medical, non-pharmacological, meditation-based, residential center for the treatment of combat related post traumatic stress. Content: 1. Current Situation 2. Goals 3. Proposed Methodology 4. Time and Cost 5. Qualifications 6. Benefits 1. Current Situation THE OAKWOOD CENTER addresses the current issue of veterans suffering with post traumatic stress. • Millions suffering: More than 6 million US soldiers have served in military campaigns involving combat since 1964 (1) leaving a huge number of them to face the consequences of their service in war. It is estimated that 30-50 % of those veterans serving in military campaigns are affected by post traumatic stress (2). Within the veteran community the actual number is believed to be significantly higher. • Insufficient number of treatment facilities: While there are a limited number of facilities available - most of them medically based - only a small number of veterans who are affected are currently being treated, but even those receiving treatment in these facilities continue to suffer. 2 It is important to note here that the most effective programs for at-risk- veterans are community-based, nonprofit, “veterans helping veterans” peer programs. (1) http://edition.cnn.com/2013/06/05/us/war-veterans-by-the-numbers/, Vietnam War estimated 3,403,000 deployed, Desert Shield/Desert Storm, 694,550 deployed, http://fcnl.org/issues/afghanistan/afghanistan_invasion_ten_year_anniversary/ Afghanistan and Iraq War roughly 2,000,000 deployed (2) http://fcnl.org/issues/afghanistan/afghanistan_invasion_ten_year_anniversary/ VA. 2012a. The Long Journey Home XXI: Treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). West Haven, CT: Northeast Program Evaluation Center. • Limited treatment strategies: Over the past 40 years the treatment model for post traumatic stress has focused primarily on psychotherapy, pharmacological therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), cognitive-behavioral therapy as well as somatic therapy, to name a few of the many existing modalities. These have been only marginally effective. • Matter of Life and Death: The Director of Social Services of the Veterans Administration estimates that 22 veterans take their own lives every day, which means that a veteran commits suicide every 65 minutes and that 8,000 veterans die by suicide each year. It is important to note that only 20 states are currently required to track and report veteran suicides, which means that the actual number of veteran suicides is considerably higher See Appendix for more information pages 8-9. 2. Proposed Methodology and Treatment Concept The real cost of war and the resultant suffering that veterans face will be more effectively treated by a life style rooted in a disciplined spiritual practice such as meditation. With this foundation, veterans are more likely to benefit from the other treatment modalities and strategies that are offered. 3 The official definition for post traumatic stress almost totally fails to convey the ease with which it can be confused with many different mental disorders. THE OAKWOOD CENTER will promote meditation - an alternative and successful approach to support veterans. • Meditation-based approach: The primary focus at THE OAKWOOD CENTER will be a meditation-based treatment that can help the Veteran to deal with the more fundamental injuries which are caused through the experience of and preparation for war - injuries that are moral and spiritual in nature. http://www.honoringthepath.org/about/research/ • Writing: Veterans will be encouraged to develop a writing practice that will take place in groups and individually. • Mindful Listening and Speaking: Veterans will meet in groups where they will be encouraged to share their experiences with daily life or on military related issues through the practice of Deep Listening and Mindful Speech. • Meditation: Veterans will receive basic instructions in formal sitting and walking meditation practices. The veteran will also learn a meditation-based approach to daily living with the understanding that meditation is not limited to a particular form, but rather is a disciplined, structured, and transformative way of engaging with daily life activities. • One-On-One Meetings: Veterans who are participating in this program will have constant access to people who are trained and experienced with these formal meditation practices (and are themselves veterans). There will also be mental health professionals on staff, who are also trained and experienced in the meditation disciplines used in this residential facility. • Follow Up: THE OAKWOOD CENTER will continue to have an active contact with those attending this program once the veteran leaves the center. This contact will be maintained via email, phone, web based technologies (Facebook, Linkedin, etc.) as well as people returning for shorter stays. See Appendix for more information pages 10-17. 4 3. Time and Cost This is what is needed to run a successful program: The program will initially be open for 15 veteran participants, non-exclusive of gender, in October of 2015. It is believed that THE OAKWOOD CENTER can treat, within this basic structure, 60 veterans per year. THE OAKWOOD CENTER will operate as a pilot program for two years as a subsidiary of the Zaltho Foundation Inc. a 501(c) 3 tax exempt, non-profit and will rely on private funding, grants, in-kind donations. Residents will participate by sharing in the cost of the food on a weekly basis and through participation in the upkeep of the center. The initial startup costs for THE OAKWOOD CENTER pilot program will be $ 500,400. This will cover facility development, operating, administrative, and marketing costs for one year. Operating costs for the second year are estimated to be $ 237,600. Key people: • Founder and co-director, Claude AnShin Thomas is a fully ordained Zen Buddhist monk, author, and a decorated combat- wounded U.S. soldier. • Full-time personnel will consist of 2 on-site helping professionals such as PhD psychologists and/or clinical social workers. All personnel will be trained and experienced with the different meditation disciplines. • Part-time personnel will consist of a small number of administrative, house keeping, and kitchen staff. • Other support staff will be available through existing community 5 services, i.e.; medical, psychiatric, social services. Veteran service agencies will also be utilized to support the residents of this program to secure their earned veterans’ benefits. See Appendix for more information pages 18-21. 4. Qualifications This is why THE OAKWOOD CENTER is best qualified to offer this program: Since 1998, Claude AnShin Thomas, a decorated combat- wounded veteran of the Vietnam War, together with the Zaltho Foundation, Inc., has been offering transformative residential meditation retreats for veterans living with post traumatic stress. (These programs have been held at retreat centers in Oregon; New York State; and Colombia, South America as well as in many other locations.) Many veterans have expressed how much their life has changed and improved through their participation in these retreats, where they learned a meditation- based approach to healing the inner wounds of war. http://www.zaltho.org/the-founder/news/131-the-retreat-by-dan-new.html • Thousands of veterans have already received support from Claude AnShin Thomas and this meditation-based approach to recovery from Post Traumatic Stress through attending veteran retreats. Therefore we are already in contact with many potential participants. • Claude AnShin Thomas has been working with the topic of post traumatic stress both personally and publicly for over 40 years, and he has been facilitating mindfulness meditation retreats as an ordained Buddhist monk for more than 20 years. These experiences provide Claude AnShin with a unique perspective and insight into the complex behaviors that show themselves within the lives of combat soldiers both during and post their service. Unlike many health care professionals and others offering services to veterans with post 6 traumatic stress, Claude AnShin has the personal experience of living constructively with the consequences of combat service. See Appendix for more information pages 22-25. 5. Benefits These are the benefits veterans can experience when they implement the program into their life: To date there has not been much research on the methodology that THE OAKWOOD CENTER is initiating to address post traumatic stress. However, there is personal testimony from veterans from around the world who have been able to stabilize their lives through this approach. http://www.zaltho.org/the-founder/news/131-the-retreat-by-dan-new.html • THE OAKWOOD CENTER will provide a community for veterans guided by veterans to establish a self-empowering spiritual practice. This will enable the participants to discover how to live at peace with their un- peacefulness. • This program is based on the understanding that healing will not equal the absence of war related memories and behaviors. Healing is about learning how to establish a more conscious relationship with our war-related experiences

A Weird and Intriguing Text “If a woman is going to write a Book of Peace, it is given her to know devastation”— thus begins Maxine Hong Kingston’s The Fifth Book of Peace (2003).1 Unlike her former award‐winning and critically acclaimed works—The Woman Warrior (1976), China Men (1980), and Tripmaster Monkey: His Fake Book (1989)—the reception of her latest book has been cool, to say the least. As of November 2008, there were only three entries on The Fifth Book of Peace in the MLA International Bibliography, in sharp contrast to the numbers on The Woman Warrior (273 entries), China Men (90 entries), and Tripmaster Monkey (63 entries). These three entries include an eight‐page book essay published in China, a twelve‐page journal article on Kingston’s three works published in Turkey, and a U.S. dissertation on three Asian American female writers. In addition, there are very few reviews in newspapers and journals. This is indeed a phenomenon unthinkable for a writer who has been hailed as one of the most frequently taught writers living in the U.S.

  • A Psychological Analysis of Physical and Mental Pain in Buddhism Ashin
    A Psychological Analysis of Physical and Mental Pain in Buddhism Ashin Sumanacara1 Mahidol University, Thailand. Pain is a natural part of life and all of us. Ordinary people are inflicted with physical or mental pain. In this paper, firstly we will analyse the concept of physical and mental pain according to the Pali Nikāyas. Next we will discuss the causes of physical and mental pain, and investigate the unwholesome roots: greed (lobha), hatred (dosa) and delusion (moha), and their negative roles in causing physical and mental pain. Then we will highlight the Buddhist path to overcoming physical and mental pain. Finally we will discuss mindfulness and the therapeutic relationship. Mindfulness, as it is understood and applied in Buddhism, is a richer theory than thus far understood and applied in Western psychotherapy. Within Buddhism the development of mindfulness must be understood to be interrelated with the maturity of morality (sīla), concentration (samādhi) and wisdom (paññā). A Word about Buddhism Buddhism, a spiritual movement, arose from the prevalent intellectual, political and cultural milieu of Indian society in the 6th century BCE and has been an influential cultural force in Asia for more than 2550 years. In recent decades, it has gained acceptance in the West, largely due to its solution of mental pain of human beings through mindfulness meditation. The core teachings of the Buddha are contained in the Four Noble Truths, which are as follows: (1) Dukkha: life is characterized by pain; (2) Samudaya: the cause of pain which is craving (taṇhā); (3) Nirodha: pain can be ended by the cessation of craving; and (4) Magga: there is a way to achieve the cessation of pain, which is the Noble Eightfold Path (ariya-aṭṭhangika-magga).
