If you all think about it, if you have love for me, then please help this center. Even though we must have love for all the sentient beings in all the countries of this world, this stupa is extremely precious. --Garchen Rinpoche
The food and drink offered to those practicing austerities on mountain retreat brings far greater merit than a hundred offerings made to [others]. --Jetsun Milarepa
How You Can Help
On behalf of Garchen Rinpoche, the lamas, retreatants, world-wide sangha, and staff, thank you so much for your generous donation. Rinpoche deeply loves this center. He wishes that it remain as long as sentient beings exists, and this is possibly only through kind gifts like yours. Your generosity enables us to support our 3-year retreat program, host five annual drubchens, run the Summer and Winter teachings, support short-term retreatants, introduce local community members to Buddhism, host rental groups and college classes, and in short, fulfill the wishes of Garchen Rinpoche. From the depths of our hearts, thank you for your gift.

Thank you for bringing us one step closer to this enduring goal, and may all beings benefit!
