Join us in our efforts to support Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s vision of preserving the Mahayana tradition in the holy land of Bodhgaya!
The Challenge
Taking care of a harmonious spiritual community is like looking after a small village. Behind the scenes, there are many expenses which are necessary to keep things running smoothly. The cost of our many 'background expenses' can be quite high. As a Friend of Root Institute, your monthly sponsorship will help tremendously in ensuring a steady stream of support that can lead to better budgeting, increased efficiency, and more help for other year-round programs. This means your donation will go further.
Your monthly Friends of Root Institute sponsorship will help us continue to:
- build and maintain our holy objects
- support our local Indian staff & their families
- support the Sangha
- care for our liberated animals who live with us
- upkeep our accommodations, facilities and grounds
From our hearts, THANK YOU!
