Supporting Gomde

At this time, Gomde needs your help!

Gomde has become a spiritual home for all of us, and so has grown dear to our hearts. Many must be wondering how Gomde is subsisting during this difficult time, and how it will move forward. Gomde’s handful of resident staff has established a daily routine of prayer, practice, and overall maintenance of the property that adheres to the retreat currently required by law.

Presently, Gomde is lucky to enjoy the support of two senior nuns, Ani Tsering Chöton and Ani Tenzin Sangmo, from Nagi Gompa Nunnery who are Gomde’s special guests. For the benefit of all beings, together the nuns are leading Gomde’s residents in the continuity of daily sadhana practices ranging from the Sang Offering Puja in early morning and the unique Parna Shavari (Tara) practice to the usual afternoon Dharmapala prayers and, after dinner, a variety of additional chants, such the 21 Praises to Tara.

 Financial support is now critical in order to maintain a minimum operation and basic services at Gomde. Sadly, several of Gomde’s carefully planned springtime seminars have been cancelled, while others have, for the time being, been postponed. As a result, an important component of Gomde's economic security is missing, despite the basic expenses continuing.

 We, therefore, wish to wholeheartedly appeal for your kind support. Any amount of contribution is more than welcome, whether on the basis of a one-time donation or as regular monthly donations, for example, over the next few months. We welcome your contribution made directly online, or via the bank accounts of Friends of Gomde in Austria and Germany.

It is our wish that you will take to heart our special outreach for your help at this unusual time, and, as always, we very much look forward to welcoming your attendance to new seminars here at Gomde as soon as possible!
