Suggested donation $35 per night for center electricity plus dana for Tulku Rinpoche
Food arrangements are to be determined.
No staff! We will need to clean the dorm before we leave Sunday.
Best to bring your own linens and bedding! To reduce the amount of cleaning needed, it would be best if you can bring your own sleeping back, pillow, sheets, etc. It will be cold at the center, possibly freezing temperatures at night.
Other Donations for Stupa It is possible to donate and offer objects of both sentimental and monetary value for placement within the stupa. For example, pearls one has received as a gift from someone special to oneself, golden bracelets, or other fine articles that one considers valuable and precious from a heart point of view. Please do not organize group donations of such objects. Thank you!
