Getting Involved / Donating

A small Working Committee of devotees, all working voluntarily, have come together around Dorje Phagmo to support her and reach out to potential donors, supporters, and well-wishers.

Besides the ongoing renovation of the old lhakhang and the construction of the stupa, there are immediate plans to build proper accommodation, prayer halls, and classrooms for the nuns and monks, and living quarters for the teachers.

Donations and zhendeps of any amount and help and support in networking will be appreciated helping to complete this undertaking and fulfilling the wishes of Dorje Phagmo to uphold and spread the Buddha dharma. The full details can be availed from the General Secretary and the Coordinator of the Working Committee shared at the end.
