Help Us Raise the Temple Roof

Shelter for the Sangha, Blessings for All – Help Us Raise the Temple Roof

“Just as the great earth supports all beings, may this roof shelter the path to awakening.

The Enlightenment monastery, Khenchen Lama Rinpoche’s official site, started as a small hut on the Qing Hai Plateau about 180 years ago. Gradually, it grows bigger with time.

In March 2024, Khenchen Lama Rinpoche initiated the project to build a study hall and additional retreat rooms to accommodate the growing sangha.

In June 2024, we raised about 17 ,000 US dollars to start the first phase of the project to lay the foundation for the Sutra Hall, which was completed in October before the winter set into the Qinghai Plateau.

In the second phase, we focus on building the Sutra Hall. We started our first fundraising in May and have received about 35 ,000 US dollars, which allowed us to purchase the materials and paid the workers to start building.

We hope to raise another 19 ,000 before September to install a roof for protecting the structure from the winter elements.

Honor the teachings of the Buddha—contribute to the building of a Tibetan Sutra Hall. Give today to help build a space of peace and prayer.

With deepest gratitude, we thank you for your support.
