DONATION
The construction of the Ancient Sacred Buddhist Scripture Stupas is both a noble aspiration and a sacred obligation for all monks, nuns, and Buddhists from Hương Đạo Temple, and from around the world.
For this, the intellectual contribution – the knowledge of Pāḷi Tipiṭaka – from monks and nuns who specialize in Dhamma Learning and Practice will be both useful and necessary for this work.
Additionally, donations from all Buddhists and generous Sponsors, whether in the United States or elsewhere throughout the seven continents, will be an essential contribution towards the cause of rapidly completing the construction of the Ancient Sacred Buddhist Scripture Stupas.
This Dhammacetiya will be a noble gift of Dhamma for everyone, whether in the United States or elsewhere in the world. More than that, it will be an especially noble gift for those who have the desire to study, learn, and practice Buddha’s teachings with the goal of solving the predicaments and stress of daily life, in order to bring happiness and peace to oneself, to others, and to society.
