A LEGACY UNFOLDS:
BUILDING A TEMPLE IN HOUSTON
We have just committed to a historic campaign
culminating in the building of a Tibetan-style Temple
in Houston, the country's fourth largest city. This
will be a place of refuge and retreat, a sacred space
for teaching and practice. It will include a community
center for visual and performing spiritual art. It will
provide as well a groundbreaking model for spiritual
collaboration with the Asian lay and monastic
communities here, several of whom are actively
supporting our efforts.
Equally important, it will anchor the work of our
teachers and their lineages here, in an American urban
heartland, where they can continue to grow and inspire
for generations to come.
We welcome your help, your suggestions
and your prayers!
Please watch this space for updates.
