“When the iron bird flies and horses run on wheels, the Tibetans will be scattered across the earth like ants and the dharma will come to the land of the red man.” Padmasambhava

THE IMPORTANCE OF MAKING OFFERINGS Since the time of the Buddha, offerings have been made by practitioners in order to support the teachings, practices and monastic community. Our situation is really no different. We rely entirely upon the generosity of many individuals to sustain our daily operations and special events. In short, the future existence of Gar Drolma Buddhist Center rests entirely upon the present generosity of our community.

We are very much aware that not everyone can afford to make large donations to the center. At the same time, the community must be able to meet basic expenses. Therefore we appeal to everyone to give generously. If each individual gives generously, those who are less able to give will continue to have an opportunity to attend our programs. Through your generosity, the entire community will benefit.

OUR MONTHLY EXPENSES: We have basic expenses to cover each month such as our gas and electic bills, mortgage, fire insurance and so on. In all these bills amount to aproximately $1500 per month. We rely entirely on the regular weekly donations of people who attend practices at Gar Drolma to meet these costs.
