Our Plans

DGI is currently in the process of hosting a number of monks from the Drepung Gomang Monastery in India. Our goal for this visit is to be able to share various aspects of the Tibetan culture throughout the United States. Our hope in doing so is to increase the support for the monastery and share the Tibetan culture. The monks would be available for house blessings, presentations about Tibetan Buddhist philosophy, cultural presentations or talks at schools or other venues, prayers for world peace, and Sacred Mandala or Butter Sculpture workshops.  Please direct your questions to Anne Walter at 583-6419 or annekwalt@aol.com

Funds raised through this visit are used to support the daily functioning of the monastery, such as providing food and shelter for the ever increasing number of monks coming to India. Remaining funds will be used to develop a central "hub" for Drepung Gomang here in Louisville, Kentucky. Please note that the monastery makes all decisions on how the monies raised through the visit are utilized.
