Bruce Thauburn has been donating his time preparing the center for months.
The wetlands next door have turned green for the summer.
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
