Southern California Dharma Center
At the request of thousands of practitioners living in the western United States, Thay and the Sangha decided to establish a permanent monastery and retreat center in southern California. During Thay's United States retreats this fall, we announced our hope to obtain a former youth camp in San Diego County. Since the retreats, however, the county has withdrawn the property from the market—perhaps only until February 2000. Meanwhile, we will continue to look for anotherbeautiful property south of Los Angeles, in the area of Orange County and San Diego County. We anticipate a cost of approximately $2.5 million. When property is located and repairs to the facilities are complete, Plum Village will send a Sangha of twelve monks and twelve nuns to practice there permanently. Several lots of land will be located nearby for those who would like to live near the monastery. Buying a lot for your home would also help purchase and support the Center.
Please help build a 21st century for our younger generation by making this center a reality. You could pledge $5, $10, $20, or more each month for the next 36 months, or donate whatever you can afford. All donations are taxdeductible. Checks should be make payable to Unified Buddhist Church and sent to Green Mountain Dharma Center at the address below. Please contact us for details on donating shares of stock.
