A heartfelt ‘thank you’ from Olwen, the House Manager:

to Bill and Dave for the stunning paintwork on the center
to all the people who cleaned, cleared, dusted, wiped and scrubbed
to all those who worked so hard in the garden and donated beautiful plants
to all those who helped Geshela to clear and refurbish the Gompa

and from the Trust members:

to those who sponsored the visit
to all those who attended the teachings and inititiations
to all who offered meals and chauffered our teachers
to all who donated money for the refurb
to all our regular donors

to those who are giving our three new monthly AP’s – you are taking the centre off the ‘endangered species’ list.

Your contribution has been invaluable.
We appreciate it and Trashi Gomang center continues to thrive due to your support.

A very sincere thank you!

Geshe Dhonam is in Australia for the visit of His Holiness and will return to the Centre on the night of Thursday the 3rd of December. He will be staying in central Auckland as a guest of the Trust with other Tibetan sangha over the weekend of His Holiness’s visit. We would like to express our appreciation to the Trust for this opportunity for him to enjoy the company of other sangha.
