As we build up our temple, one brick at a time, I jump inside with joy to see the fruits of our karma.
And yet, I remind myself, that our true Sangha exists in our heart/mind only.
Only there is it infinite and eternal, its doors forever open to see and feel dharma.
And yet, despite the apparent frailty of this material world, I thank God I am dreaming...
May we come together and dream the sangha of our heart/mind into existence.
May we come together to perceive generation, organization, and destruction, through the peace of the Buddha's teaching.
May we come together, and accept the blessing all awakened ones, existing perpetually within us.
One brick at a time, let us rebuild our temple, a home for all those who seek refuge.
Karma Gyeltsen Dorje
It is a great joy to see the center's red double doors open for the first time. We thank all that have contributed innumerable hours of time, expertise and building materials. We thank the many generous donors of the funds that have brought us this far. We look forward to raising the funds to finish the building (furnishings, ornamentation, library completion and a contemplative garden) and repaying our far-sighted and generous private lenders. - Lama Pema and Lama Yeshe
