Exciting News: Triple your impact with Donation Matching Sponsor!

Dear Sangha Members,
I hope this message finds you well and in good health.
We are very happy to share some wonderful news. A generous donor has offered to match every $1 we donate with an additional $2, tripling the impact of each contribution. This is an extraordinary opportunity to support the Drikung Meditation Center at Jokhang Temple and help us retire the remaining mortgage on the temple.
Our goal is to raise $30,000. With the matching funds, this will allow us to fully pay off the mortgage and secure the long-term stability of our Center.
How the Matching Works:
For every $1 you donate, the donor will add $2 making the total donation $3, tripling your donation!
All contributions will directly support paying off the temple’s mortgage.

Donations will be matched until January15th 2026.
We'll receive them at the Temple or here: http://paypal.me/dmcboston

The temple is a place of refuge, compassion, authentic practice, and community important for so many of us. Paying off the mortgage will allow us to focus more fully on our Dharma activities, teachings, retreats, service and fulfilling the vision of Lama Sonam and our precious teachers.
If you are able, please consider offering your support to DMC during this holiday season. Every contribution, large or small, will have triple the benefit.

Thank you deeply for your practice, your presence, and your generosity.
May this act of giving create immeasurable merit for all beings.

With gratitude,
Lama Sonam and the Drikung Meditation Center at Jokhang Temple

✨📿 Empowerment and retreat of 1000 Arms Chenrezig, Royal Tradition ✨ 🌺 You are welcome to join in person or by Zoom.
We will chant the Mani Mantra with our dear Lamas using melodies preserved by Drikung Thil monastery for years. This connection to our lineage brings us blessings from masters of the past and support the practice of the Buddha of Compassion.

The Drubchod helps us develop great love and compassion for all sentient beings (so necessary to counter-balance negativity of this world). It is beneficial for dharma curious beginners and advanced dharma practitioners alike. Join the sessions you are able to.

📍Next Friday May/23 Khenpo Chopel Rinpoche will kindly bestow Chenrezig empowerment to start our retreat. It is recommended that you take it again before engaging in this profound 2-day retreat. We will finish the retreat with a celebratory Tsok, prepare your food offerings for then!

Please register on our website or send us a message and we will send you immediately the registration link.

📿 If you cannot join but want to be in this compassion mandala you can send us a donation or request we "dedicate" for someone special or some problem you have.
