TANA YELPA MONISTARY SUPPORT

Dear Sponsor,

Thanks you for supporting the Tana Yelpa Monastery.  The projects provides for the health and well being of the monks and the communities.  Your heart felt support will enabled the Tana Yelpa Monastery of India, to grow, sustain it’s self and to continue to be a center for preservation and growth of precious Tibetan Buddhist traditions and teachings.  These Tibetan Buddhist traditions and teachings have been handed down though the Tana Yelpa Lineage for over 800 years.  

As you know, the Tana Monastery, in South India, was founded by Tana Tulku more than 40 years ago, when the refugee monks from Tibet escaped from Tibet during the Chinese Cultural Revolution.  The Tana Yelpa Monastery has been an essential link between the Tibetan Buddhist traditions and teachings.  The Tana Yelpa monastery has supported the Tibetan refugee community and created a foundation on which to rebuild a preserve a culture dedicated to compassion and kindness. 

The Tana Yelpa Monastery has also serves as a place to preserve the Tibetan Monk community through providing, food, shelter, and spiritual teachings to the Monk community, which is at the heart of the Tibetan Buddhist Traditions.  Today, the Tana Yelpa Monastery is under the guidance and leadership of The Venerable Dungse Tana Tulku Rinpoche.  It is home to over 60 young monks, whose age’s range from 5 to 17.  Your continued support is vital to the well-beings of the communities and monks.  These monks receive food, clothing, shelter, and education from the Monastery, in order to study and help preserve Buddhist teachings. 

While the monastery has been in existence for many years, your generous support is urgently needed, to help maintain the Tana Yelpa Monastery and improve the lives and well-beings of the Monks.  The Tana Yelpa Monastery plans to build a Meditation Retreat Center and Shedra.  Which would be equivalent to a western college or university for higher education.  The Meditation Retreat Center will provide facilities for longer term retreats such as the 3 year, 3 month, 3 day retreat, while the Shedra will be a teaching center for Buddhist teachings, philosophy, medicine and lineage rituals among other things. 

The Mediation Retreat Center will consist of a large shrine room, and 20 other rooms, kitchen and dining room, and toilet facilities.  The Shedra will be a 3-storey building consisting of Shrine room, classrooms, library, office, Training Hall, 50 other rooms, Kitchen, dining room, and Toilet facilities.

In order to complete this project, we need your support, kindness and donations.  We know you have provided us help in the past and we thank you for that and ask that you continue to help and support the Tana Yelpa Monastery.  The new construction of the Shedra & Meditation Center will begin soon as almost all of the elements have come together to allow the building to begin.   We know that with a generous donation from supporters like you, we would be in a position to start and complete the construction of this project.  We ask that you make a contribution to the Tana Yelpa Monastery in order for us to finalize this project and move forward.
