Our Future Vision

Our current Gompa has been the beating heart of Chenrezig Institute for nearly five decades, a place of learning and practice, offering the precious Dharma to thousands of students and visitors from near and far. However, the time has come to develop further and create a new Gompa; a place where people can come together in search of spiritual growth, further learning and practice. 

We are delighted to announce that our new Gompa project has been blessed by His Holiness,
the Dalai Lama and received Lama Zopa Rinpoche's full endorsement.

Our vision? That our new Gompa will carry on the Chenrezig Institute’s legacy for centuries to come.

Sponsorship Opportunities

“Building a temple collects incredible, vast amounts of merit because it is a holy place containing Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. The number of atoms making up the monastery’s temple is the same number of lifetimes that you will be born as a king in the deva or human realm, with all wealth and power. The merits increase all the time, for eons.”

Lama Zopa Rinpoche – Spiritual Director of Chenrezig Institute

How can you get involved?  

Sponsor a Statue

In support of our new Gompa development, we’re inviting friends and followers the opportunity to sponsor our gold-gilded statues of Shakyamuni Buddha, Four Armed Chenrezig, Manjushri and Arya Tara. This is a deeply special and rare opportunity to show your support for the project like no other. 

Each 20cm statue will be:

  • placed individually in lit shrine alcoves

  • part of the beautiful ornamental frieze on our new Gompa's interior walls

  • exquisitely ornamented to ancient traditional craftsmanship.

Each sponsor’s name will be inscribed on a nameplate placed below their sponsored statues. Statues will be filled and consecrated at a special Puja and ceremony held at Chenrezig Institute for Wisdom Culture, especially for our sponsors. These beautiful statues will last for thousands of years and inspire all who see them to enlightenment. 

Every benefit to every sentient being influenced by each statue benefits the sponsor continuously. Buddha descended to teach on the earth from the God Realm of 33.

Sponsorship cost: $3,300, with monthly direct debit plans available.
