Gar Drolma Buddhist Center

There are two systems, the worldly system and the religious system. Understanding both systems is like possessing two open eyes that will benefit you in this and future lifetimes.

The Dharma Center is very precious and to keep it open depends only on the support of students.

Although we started the center, if we do not find the support of sangha it would be impossible to remain in the future. If you are supporting the Dharma center you will receive great merit in this and all future lifetimes, and all happiness relies on merit. Merit is actually kindness and love, and this center is a center of love. I am therefore requesting you to offer your support to this center in whichever way you can.

~His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche

MEMBERSHIP

"Only if we possess a physical building can the center become stable. Then we are able to provide a stable place for beings to study and practice the Buddhadharma. Everyone supporting this will accumulate vast merit through their contribution to this great activity." -His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche

Gar Drolma Buddhist Center is a member-supported organization operating under the precious guidance of His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche. Your membership contributions directly support his efforts in spreading the dharma.

Gar Drolma defines a member as anyone who contributes monthly to the financial operation of the center and participates in weekly programs or retreats. Through these acts of generosity, we commit to sharing in Garchen Rinpoche's vision.

Your membership contributions also pay for the center’s operational expenses. These include mortgage payments for the temple, rent for the monastic’s home, maintenance and utilities, stipends for both monastics, insurance, legal fees, and office expenses.

Membership Benefits

The benefits are vast. Membership is important in creating a center which provides a community for Buddhist teachings, spiritual growth and mutual support. Membership also helps support the mission of the Center, the growth of the dharma and the work of Garchen Rinpoche. Your support is therefore not only of great merit, but will also help create a home for dharma practice and teachings. This will be of great benefit to many sentient beings.
