Help Support Project Yangchen Ling

(A special video  message from Lama Sonam Rinpoche)

 

Yangchen Ling, the dwelling at Pema Osel Ling where Drubpon Pema Rigdzin (aka Lama Freddie) lives is no longer viable and needs immediate extensive work, forcing him to temporarily relocate.

 

We are thrilled to let you know that a $5,000 matching grant was put forward by a generous donor! Every dollar you donate will be doubled until we meet the match.
