An Innovative Education Project That Nurtures The Spiritual and Intellectual Potential

Descriptions:

Fence -walls Renovation:
Renovations of the fence-walls is needed to keep the residents inside the Institute compound safe. The current fence walls were built very poorly a long time ago and are old now. They are not tall enough to keep out of animals, thieves, strange, etc. So far, we have only had a few problems with some strange men crossing over onto the property; yet it could become a greater problem if the fence -walls remain the way they are. Therefore, it is a high priority for us to collect funds to renovate the fence as soon as possible.

Student Living Quarter
There are new enrollments of student every three years. The current living quarters are fully
accommodated and ten to twelve rooms will have to be constructed in order to accommodate 30 new students to be admitted in year 2012.

Retreat House
Practice is considered important and therefore is emphasized here at the Institute. To provide the students as well as serious practitioners from outside of the Institute with facilities where they can undertake retreats and put what they have learned into practice, we see it necessary to have a retreat quarter built with separate retreat rooms for the individuals to do their practice without distractions. In fact, there are already some of senior nuns at this Institute who have completed their traditional dharma education and trainings and have reached the time for retreats.

Sponsorship for Nuns
Another top priority at the moment for the Institute is to find individual sponsors for about 25 nuns. Each of them needs US 30 per month or USD 360 per year to sustain with their living and studying. We would like to call for friends and well-wishers around the world to please help us sponsor the afore- mentioned nuns so that this Institute could function continuously and smoothly as a role of providing dharma education and and training to the less privileged nuns and lay women.

Drill water tub-well pump
To build one tube well 115 meters deep and build a water tank in the ground of the Institute to provide essential water supply for drinking, washing and irrigation for vegetable gardens. This will provide for water needs of the Institute at least the next five to seven years. Currently there are two well, which does not give adequate water supply for target group of 115 students. Extra water would enable the nuns to grow more vegetable and fruit trees on the land, and increase our self- sufficiency and sustainability. This will provide for the nun's basic of needs of sanitation and health as well as food generation. We have planned to admit 30 new students in the next year therefore, it is very essential to have another Tub-well to
provide enough water supplies for our need. Your interest and support are indispensable to our ongoing growth and success. Please extend your kind support.

Thank you very much.
