2022 Year-End Appeal

​Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.    
                      
-- His Holiness the Dalai Lama

Dear Friend of Tse Chen Ling,

Thank you for supporting Tse Chen Ling over the years. This year-end appeal is directed toward Center repairs and restoration. Our goal is to raise $25,000 for immediate and necessary maintenance.

Tse Chen Ling desperately needs a new roof -- our roof is over 30 years old and showing its age. We obtained 

​multiple estimates for a new roof and negotiated

​discounts but are still facing a cost of $20,000. 

​There is also evidence of dry rot and peeling paint on the exterior back wall of the Center. The extent of the dry rot damage is uncertain and we are actively getting repair estimates, but conservatively, we expect the wall repair to cost about $5,000.

By helping the center, you are helping all sentient beings, because then people come to learn Dharma at the center, and to practice bodhicitta, as they do the practice for all sentient beings, to benefit all sentient beings.

 -- Lama Zopa Rinpoche 
      ​



​

It is through our virtuous actions that we experience happiness and through Buddhist teachings we can practice virtue. Your donation to Tse Chen Ling's 2022 Year-end Appeal is a fantastic way to support the ​
teachings, preserve them and share them. Please consider making a tax deductible donation now or before year’s end.

The Center relies entirely on donations and member support. Special projects like this, while not glamorous, are necessary and important to keep us up and running. We greatly appreciate every donation, large or small, and look forward to making the TCL gompa safe and comfortable for all.

Thank you so much,

​Ani Carol (Jampa Chotso), Director
