Throne nearly ready for statue
There are many opportunities to contribute to the new Amitabha Foundation Temple and Retreat Center in Kathmandu. Please read this March 17, 2010 letter from True Lhamo and see the recent photos of the temple, courtesy of Grace Wong.
Dear Friends,
I am sending here two attachments that will give you an idea of the number of statues and temple ornaments that are needed for the amitabha retreat center in kathmandu. The construction of the temple is almost complete including traditional carvings and paintings. The construction of the retreat cottages is to start in April. Due to lack of funds, the statues are being delayed.
In order for the project to be realized sooner and also to give an opportunity for those who wish to be a part of the project, there are different sizes of statues and temple ornaments that need to be made and if there are people who may be interested in sponsoring items, they may do so on their own or a few people can join together as group sponsors and dedicate the statues and ornaments in the name of their loved ones who are alive or dead. We can also write the names of the people at some place in the monastery or in front of the statues in whose names the statue or temple ornament has been dedicated.
Many greetings and best wishes to all of you,
Truelha
