Both GSTDL and the Gaden Shartse Cultural Foundation (GSCF) appreciate the continuous support while the monks continue to adhere to Stay-At-Home orders due to the COVID-19 pandemic. During the past few months, many pujas and sand mandalas have been created and dedicated to those who have fallen ill, been suffering and/or succumbed, especially to the COVID-19 pandemic.

More requests and sponsorships have been made to our center to continue with prayers and sand mandalas for the next few months. We are happy to post these upcoming events for those who are interested in joining us on our Facebook Livestream:

For those who wish to join us during these prayers, a sadhana will be available for you to follow in our Resources Prayer website section. Tibetan phonetics are only available. We apologize that there are no English-version prayers as it requires a lot of work and we are limited with time.

Donations are very much welcomed while these activities are being performed. Please visit our COVID-19 related activities donation page.
