Dear surfers,
We are one of the poorest Tibetan Buddhist monasteries because of the dislocation from our home monastery in Kham, Tibet.
We are seeking sponsors for our monastery. We are working on the following projects:

Kitchen facilities
Monks Hostel
Classrooms
Sponsors for young monks - to provide food, clothing, and medical expenses
We are also looking to find sponsors to help us financially to develop some nearby land
