KADAMPA CENTER'S STUPA RENOVATION PROJECT

Saturday, September 26 - Saturday, October 3

Since its construction in 2013, the stupa has only been refreshed once.  Now it's time to do a full and extensive cleaning, repairing, and repainting of Kadampa Center's precious stupa.  The project will be overseen by Jampal Hyolmo, the wonderfully talented artist who created the stupa.  All are invited to help lend a hand and share in the experience of bringing this project to fruition for world peace and for the benefit of all living beings.

See below for the variety of ways in which you can be a part of this incredibly meaningful labor of love and compasstion.  No experience necessary.  All are welcome!
