Three Year Retreat Benefactor Program

"When a skillful meditator meditating in the wilderness

And a skillful benefactor providing the wherewithal

Come together this connection leads to both gaining buddhahood

But what gives this link its meaning is to dedicate the merit."

   from Milarepa - A Song of Meaningful Connections

In the spirit of Milarepa and the Tibetan retreat tradition, Venerable Thrangu Rinpoche has requested that Vajra Vidya Retreat Center establish a Three Year Retreat Benefactor Program to allow those who are not able to participate in the retreat the opportunity to rejoice and share in the merit of the retreat.

Therefore we are pleased to announce that a Benefactor Program has been established for the Three Year Retreat.  Funds raised by this program will provide general support for the retreat center rather than sponsor individual retreatants.  Special dedications of merit will be made by Khenpo Jigme and the retreatants to the benefactors by name during the retreat.

The Three Year Retreat Benefactor Program is designed with different levels of support to allow as many people as possible to participate. Payments can be made as monthly payments or as one time donation. Payments can be made to the retreat center in any of three ways: through PayPal via the buttons below, by monthly direct deposits from the benefactor’s bank account to the retreat center’s bank account or by checks written to the retreat center. Those people who are already donating regularly to the retreat center may become benefactors if they choose.

See below to sign up for the Benefactor Program and to make a donation on-line.  To sign up and make donations directly to the retreat center's bank account or by check, or for further information, please contact Ani Seltong at +1-719-256-5539.
