2024 Year-end Appeal: Envisioning Our Future image

Our Commitment to the Dharma

To supplement Geshe Dakpa’s ongoing programs, we have invited an accomplished Western Geshe to teach part-time at Tse Chen Ling next year. We also envision inviting a Kopan Geshema to teach at TCL for an extended period in the future. These young, new Geshes will teach in English connecting with newer students and will help to grow our community. Our program team is excitedly planning a Women of Wisdom series for 2025.

Besides the costs of running these programs Tse Chen Ling needs to find the best way to provide housing for teachers. Part of the year-end appeal will be directed toward creating a fund for housing part-time resident teachers.

In addition to creating the housing fund we would like to implement upgrades to our building including ADA access and improved restroom facilities. (TCL has already received a Merit Box grant to help with the ADA costs.) Our final task is to obtain a stupa for our backyard as advised by Lama Zopa Rinpoche and under the direction of Geshe Dakpa.
