Kamalashila continues to rely on donations!

Dear friends of the Kamalashila Institute,
Dear supporting members,
Dear Sangha,

The Kamalashila Institute, also known as the Eifel Monastery, conducts courses for about 170 days each year. It is under the patronage of the 17th Karmapa.
We offer 50 overnight accommodations in the house. For visiting Lamas and Rinpoches, we have a separate apartment ready.
Two Lamas reside in the house. In addition to numerous courses, they offer discussions and support for studies and retreats.
Participants in the courses can purchase Buddhist literature and ritual items in the in-house bookstore.
In the garden, there is a stupa with a meditation room and an Medicine-Buddha-altar.
A large house like the Kamalashila requires continuous maintenance and upkeep, as well as many volunteers to perform small repairs, mow the lawn, keep things tidy, etc.
However, not all tasks can be properly handled by volunteers. Such tasks must be assigned to craftsmen for a fee. There are several tasks pending now:
– Some multi-bed dormitories need to be renovated.
– The Rinpoche apartment requires a new entrance door
– The stupa needs maintenance. Rain, sun, and frost cause damage to the structure.
– An outside staircase to the Rinpoche apartment is losing its stability and needs to be supported with a steel construction.

For the aforementioned work, which we would like/must carry out in the foreseeable future, an amount of €30,000 is needed.
We kindly ask for your financial support.
Our main concern is to make Dharma accessible to many people. In times like these, it can provide orientation and teach us ways to deal with the many challenges.
Please support this endeavor.

Best regards
Your Kamalashila Team
