Tibetan Buddhist Temple

Supporting the Tibetan Buddhist Temple

As with all great works, the Tibetan Buddhist Temple requires the dedication and efforts of all to assure the successful achievement of its activities. As a member of the community of Gaden Chang Chub Chöling, your support is essential for its development. Above all, the regular donators are the patrons of the Sangha (the community of Buddhist monks and practionners) who engage in activities for the benefit of all living beings. Through their generosity, donators provide and maintain the essential place of study and practice of Mahayana Buddhism with the guidance of a pure Sangha. The donators are the protectors of the Sangha. In the Lam Rim teachings (''The stages on the path to Enlightenment''), we come to realize that our close Spiritual Guides are kinder than all the previous Buddhas, because it is with their help that we are able to achieve an understanding of the Dharma, practice properly and thereby attain Enlightenment. Therefore, it is the responsibility of donators to provide the financial help and care for the basic needs and requirements of the Temple and our Lamas, Geshe Tsultrim, Zawa Rinpoche, and Gen Lobsang Tashi so that their activities for the Dharma may continue. Furthermore through the kindness of the donators, our community can be a mainstay for every new individual who wishes to know what Buddha taught and benefit from coming to the Temple. If the benefits of having a stable Buddhist Community is something of great importance to you, we invite you to become a regular donator to the community. Your donations will then assure the continuation of the Sangha, the Dharma teachings and the place of Buddhist refuge. Thank you everyone!

The suggested donation for a regular donator is $5 monthly (or $60 yearly) and $100 yearly for families. For students, seniors, unemployed and limited income persons, the suggested donation is $5 monthly (or $40 yearly) and $100 yearly for families.
