Sakya Pandita said, "'The Jewel of the Doctrine is rare indeed,
and it is ever beset by many harms.'
Reflecting on these words, the wise will
always perform purification of the Doctrine."

This year, some of the monks are able to put on new sets of Vajra Dance costumes in the Grand Vajrakilaya Puja. Even though some of the costumes do not have full ornaments, nevertheless, Tiktsa Rinpoche and the monks of the Tsunda Monastery like to thanks all donors for their donations.
We still need to raise sufficient money to purchase the accessories and ornaments for the Vajra Dance costumes.
Finally, we have raised sufficient money to purchase a new Maitreya Bodhisattva statue for the Tsunda Monastery Retreat Centre. Rejoice!
Currently, we are still shortage of money to purchase new Buddha Amitabha, Buddha Shakyamuni, and Guru Rinpoche statues for the Tsunda Monastery Retreat Centre.
Please feel free to contact with our correspondants for more informations. (Please refer to "Projects" link.)

In addition, the necessities for retreat monks were not purchase yet like beddings..etc. Please feel free to contact with our correspondants if you are interested to contribute in the Tsunda Monastery Retreat Centre Project.
