CONTRIBUTE TODAY!
“The most significant contribution is not measured by how much we give, but by the lives, we touch.”
For thousands of years, the teachings of the Dharma have benefitted and transformed the lives of many. We believe that the preservation and propagation of the precious Dharma are like sowing the seeds of great compassion and profound wisdom of the past Buddhas in the hearts of every being.
It is, therefore, imperative for us to preserve and propagate the Dharma in any possible ways to benefit our future generations. Knowing and reflecting on the Dharma is not enough. As our Guru taught us, we must practice what we preach. Instead of hiding in a cave, i.e. our comfort zone, to meditate and recite prayers all day, we can manifest as “Action Bodhisattvas” to benefit all beings.
Thus, in Thekchen Choling, we initiate and organise humanitarian work to help our local communities and for other charitable causes.
If you are interested in contributing to the preservation and propagation of the Dharma, and in supporting our humanitarian work, these are the projects and funds which you may like to consider supporting:
Triple Gem Fund ~
As written in some Sutras, supporting and making offerings to the Triple Gem enable one to receive inconceivable merits and benefits. The Triple Gem Fund consists of:
Gurus’ Fund – As advised by Lama Zopa Rinpoche: “Even if you have complete qualities, without a guru, you cannot be liberated from Samsara”. This fund supports all dharma activities of our Gurus.
Sangha Fund – This fund supports the ordained sangha community as well as monasteries and nunneries, providing them with food, accommodation, electricity, education, health care and retreat needs.
Holy Objects Fund – This fund helps to conserve and preserve the holy objects that represent the Body (Rupa of Buddhas), Speech (Prayer and Dharma Wheels), and Mind (Stupas) of the Buddhas. As reiterated in the King of Concentration Sutra, it says that even looking upon a drawing of a stupa with a mind of anger creates the cause to see millions of buddhas in the future.
