Make a Donation to Support Our Center

When the Buddha began turning the Wheel the Dharma in ancient India, he did so purely and freely, sharing his boundless wisdom with equanimity towards all. As the dharma spread, the monastic community grew and with it, support from lay members of society. Through the ages, both groups have been intertwined in networks of mutual respect and aid, each knowing their cooperation strengthens the message of the Dharma.

GSTDL offers its programs and services free of charge and operate solely dependent on the contributions of students, donors, friends, and volunteers.  There are many ways in you can direct your donations to our center.  

  • Building Maintenance:  As an aging building, the center usually needs repairs and upkeep. Within the last two years or so, the center has undergone renovations which included a new garage, a terrace renovation for our teacher’s, Geshe Phuntsok, due to rotting wood, and general room renovation.  We still have some ongoing projects that need to be addressed including some minor reparations to His Holiness’s, the 14th Dalai Lama, room.
  • Pujas/Special Prayers/Religious Activities:  Donations received are used for the sponsorship of religious activities done specifically at GSTDL.  This can include Tsog offerings, (self-) initiation offerings, special teachings sponsorship, special Puja requests dedicated to a specific person (usually, someone who is going through some trouble, illness, or death), and more. We highly recommend that you consult with the managing director and discuss the intention before sending any donation.
  • General Donations: These funds can be used for any general purpose, including foreseen/unforeseen costs or purchases. These can range from utility bills, groceries, electronic equipment, or website maintenance.  

Contributions to any of these specific causes are profoundly appreciated by GSTDL. All donations are tax-deductible (501(c)3) to the fullest extent of the law. Clear designations should be made directly on or with your chosen form of donation. Our late guru was very conservative and judicious in assuring all offerings went to their designated purposes, and we strive to emulate his high standards. We sincerely thank everyone who has lent their kind assistance and enthusiasm over the years. We look forward to persevering with you to keep the Wheel of Dharma turning.
