Join Now to Meet the Great Compassion Challenge!

Catch the momentum! $700,000 is still needed to build Chenrezig Hall.

Now two benefactors challenge us to help complete the project.

They will match every gift dollar for dollar up to $158,000 until July 12, Wheel Turning Day!

That means every $108 gift becomes $216, $1008 becomes $2016, and $10,800 becomes $21,600 up to $158,000.

Please join us by making your offering now!

These anonymous donors hope the Great Compassion Challenge will inspire everyone to give and keep giving until Chenrezig Hall is finished. Click here to learn more about Chenrezig Hall.

By this effort may we create peace in our chaotic world.
