Sponsor a Monk
We are initiating a Sponsor-The-Monks program!
When you decide to assist Tana Rinpoche in supporting his monks, large ripple effects ensue:
- You directly benefit beings – in this case, monks who have dedicated themselves to dharma practice and study. Monastics are entirely dependent on the generosity and goodwill of all of us. Your gift of sponsorship contributes to their education, nutrition, clothing, and allows some of them to have the opportunity for long retreat.
- Part of the work accomplished by these monks is to protect and preserve the ancient Buddhist teachings of this lineage.
- Monks perform prayers and pujas for the welfare of sangha, local community members, and sentient beings in general.
- Additionally, helping others in the dharma is always a rich source of merit for yourself – in this and future lives.
To be a sponsor, select one of three monthly donation amounts. The monthly cost of housing, feeding and educating a monk is around $120. If medical expenses are added, it averages about $150/month. Another alternative is that, for $75 a month, you can substantially help with the costs of one monk. We are not singling out individual monks for sponsorship. However, if you would like to correspond with the monks, that could be arranged. There are 87 monks, ages 5 to 78, including 10 Tana monks enrolled in shedra at Sherab Ling.
Sponsor at $75, $120, and $150 levels
