Share in the Merit


From the cost of running shuttle busses to making extensive offerings ...you have a chance to create the merit of making offerings in this rare and grand expression of one of Kyabje Zopa Rinpoche's vast visions for the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition. 

We invite you to share the merit! 

All sponsorships go to support the substantial direct costs of holding Festival day. 
 
 
For the past four years, thanks to generous sponsors and our amazing Santa Cruz Tibetan community, Land of Medicine Buddha offered a free lunch of mo mos and curry to more than 1,000 people! 
* This year  lunch has already been sponsored in memory of Karen Finch.

The names of those who sponsor offerings will be read out and dedicated to at the end of the Medicine Buddha Puja and end of the day. 

 

Sponsor extensive offerings to the Medicine Buddhas:

  • Make a general offering to cover costs where most needed.
  • Sponsor fruits for altar : $300
  • Sponsor cookies, crackers, chips for altar: $300
  • Sponsor nuts, dried fruits for altar $300
  • Sponsor Tea $200
  • Sponsor coconuts for the Sangha $108
Thank you!
