TIBETAN BUDDHIST MONASTRY CONSTRUCTION
Tulku Lama Ahbay Rinpoche is building a new Monastery that will house, feed, clothe and educate his monks so they may carry on his excellent work sharing how to live a peaceful and harmonious life with people around the world. The Monastery will also help house, feed and clothe Tibetan refugees in exile and provide a welcoming prayer and retreat space for Rinpoche’s global friends and Sangha.
In August 2023 they updated that through the donations made so far they have been able to purchase 5.5 acres of land which is in three sections: the 1st section is to be used as farmland, the 2nd section will house the Monastery and the 3rd section hosts the abundant orchard of fruit trees. The initial focus was on preparing the land and creating a magnificent Monastery permaculture project as well as ensuring sufficient water supply. This important work has already regenerated hard unused land into a bountiful area that will be able to sustainably feed the Monastery, its visitors and its surrounding neighbours. The next stage of the project is a big push to start laying the foundations and building the Monastery itself.
