Vajra Sangha Retreat

March 17, 2019
Nevada City, Ca ~ Closed Retreat. Vajra Sangha Participants must be able to attend from beginning to end. Vajra Sangha are the long-term personal students of Pema Khandro who are eligible for private teachings and advanced training. The Vajra Sangha functions in a warm, closely connected community, based on long-term friendships, mutual respect, and appreciation. It is an association of serious practitioners who do in-depth study and service, who are also able to be light-hearted and celebrate life. It is a community of leaders rather than a community of followers since advanced Buddhist study requires a willingness to take responsibility for one’s life… More

The Shocking News about Dakini Mountain

We had no idea things would happen this fast

For some years our sangha has outgrown our Berkeley Center and we have been renting retreat centers for our events. But the ultimate goal has been to own our own retreat center for the 4-6 retreats we hold every year. Pema Khandro Rinpoche has been talking about this future retreat center –  Dakini Mountain – since 2004. Last year, we began searching for properties but it was difficult to find something that fit all our criteria. But now the time is finally upon us!    

On Sept 1st, after a town hall meeting, our sangha members voted to sell the Berkeley Gompa and reinvest in the Dakini Mountain vision. After a unanimous vote, we put an offer in on the dream property near Lake Tahoe that Pema Khandro Rinpoche visited in August.

Even though our funding is limited and timing uncertain, due to the need to wait for the Berkeley Gompa to sell, we decided to place an offer.

To our amazement, the owners countered with an offer that could be within our range!

In order to open escrow (to purchase the property):
We need to raise $25k by Monday, September 17th.
We will also be fundraising for $150k by years end.

Can you help make Dakini Mountain a reality?
Every donation big or small makes a difference.

How will Dakini Mountain affect our current Centers?

Once we sell the Berkeley Center, the current Chief of the center, Tsalgyur, will open a new, smaller community center as a rental. This would allow us to continue offering morning practice as well as meditation classes and other events for the public. So the Berkeley community would continue to be served in a form that is more sustainable. The House of Bodhichitta in Santa Cruz would continue in its current location where we have seven residents.

The property we have found is an overwhelmingly beautiful 35 acres, already on solar power and has enough room for our sangha to grow into. Pema Khandro Rinpoche visited the property in August and told us that it reminded her of Tibet. It has expansive views, pine forest, a swimming pond, a gorgeous park-like lawn with a stage for outdoor events, and a lodge. We need your help to make this happen!
