Support the 3-year retreat of Lho Ratna Rinpoche and Khenchen Nyima Gyaltsän

With your contribution, you will have a direct impact on deepening the roots of mindfulness and compassion. In the Buddhist tradition, the merit for the sponsor is as great as that for the retreat leader. Your contribution will therefore bear double fruit – for you and for all sentient beings.

Why your contribution is so valuable

You help ensure that our spiritual teachers in Bhutan have the best conditions to deepen their practice undisturbed. Even small amounts have a big impact:

• With $10 (approx. 960 BTN), you can provide
• two simple meals and a drink
• or a small weekly shopping trip for basic food items
• Examples of what 960 BTN can buy in everyday life there

• 1 liter of milk: approx. 180 BTN
• 12 eggs: approx. 60 BTN
• 1 kg of tomatoes: approx. 65 BTN
• 1 kg of potatoes: approx. 110 BTN

Every dollar goes directly toward food, accommodation, and equipment for Lho Ratna Rinpoche (spiritual leader of our center Drikung Namchag Mebar Dzong / Buddhist Center Staufenberg e.V.) and Khenchen Nyima Gyaltsän (connected to our parent monastery in Tibet).
