Amidst the outpouring of support and anticipation
August 15, 2018 marked the groundbreaking ceremony for South Lotus Hall
With blessings from our spiritual teacher, the Three Jewels and all deities, Great Wisdom Buddhist Institute nuns prayed
Our parishioners’ support combined with local contractors’ whole hearted efforts
On Mar 13, 2019, the last roofing frame was put in place and sealed
Building a world-class monastery, is no longer a dream, but a reality that is in progress

October 2018 marked the completion of the new monastery’s groundwork

Venerables visit the construction site, looking at the blueprint and dreaming of the future




In the cold winter, 
when a heavy layer of snow blankets the ground

February 15, 2019
The roofing frame, suspended against the azure blue sky
Just like the mythical garuda spreading the wings for takeoff

The first roofing frame is set, amidst a firework of snow flakes

Our dream to build a world class monastery
Under everyone’s support
Is beginning a new chapter

On our journey to build our dream
We sincerely thank you for your support
All progress would not be possible without your help!
