WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT TO PAY OFF TEMPLE MORTGAGE DEBT

Drikung Surya Center – Garchen Compassion Buddhist Temple

Drikung Dharma Surya Center (DDSC) was established in 2011 by the present 8th Garchen with the same auspicious name “Dharma Surya” or “the Sun of the Dharma” (Tibetan: Chokyi Nyima) as that of the 3rd Garchen Rinpoche and the 28th Drikung Kyabgon throne holder, Drikung Kyabgon Chungtsang Rinpoche. With generous financial contribution from Garchen Rinpoche, other and benefactors, on May 29, 2015, DDSC acquired a permanent physical temple in Northern Virginia of Washington D.C. metropolitan area, the Nation’s Capital of America. It is Garchen Rinpoche’s aspiration and vision for DDSC to serve as the "Sun of the Dharma" to benefit all Buddhists and everyone from various originalities, from all walks of life, and from all walks of faith and tradition. DDSC has been striving to serve as the source of sharing, promoting and sustaining Buddhist teachings and practices taught by Lord Buddha Sakyamuni and Great Masters of India and , bringing everyone together to learn and understand each other and to find a common ground to achieve the ultimate goal of happiness, freedom and inner peace within and among all people and nations on earth, thereby bringing genuine relief from suffering for all sentient beings without exception. This resonates with the very same aspiration and vision of His Holiness the 14th Dalai and His Holiness the 37th Drikung Kyabgon Chetsang. While we continue to work tirelessly to fulfill the envisioned Buddha Dharma mission, the DDSC temple, with its sacred logo and shrine hall personally designed and contributed by Garchen Rinpoche, is still owing a commercial mortgage loan of US$ 236,000.00 at present. Seeing the outstanding mortgage as karmic debt of DDSC and all of us collectively, we humbly request your financial assistance in many ways you can to help us pay off this debt.

US$ 50,000.00 donation will be recognized in one (1) Special Plaque - personalized engraving, gold trim, gold plate - with Name(s) of the Benefactor(s) or dedicated Persons/Families, Groups, or Organizations. [See Back Side] DDSC is reserving only four (4) such Special Plaques, 2 each located on each side of the temple's shrine altar and surrounded by the 100 volumes of sacred or the “Words of the Buddha”, the 1000 Buddha statues, and the main Buddha Shakyamuni, White and Thousand-Armed Avalokiteshvara statues, ritually consecrated with the relics of Lord Buddha Shakyamuni and other enlightened Masters.

We wish to thank you very much for your generous, faithful, unconditional support to contribute towards fulfillment of Garchen Rinpoche’s aspiration and vision. “May the Sun of the Dharma shine in every direction and dispel the darkness of ignorance, and bring peace and benefit for all.” - His Holiness the 37th Drikung Kyabgon Chetsang [offering this prayer to DDSC]
