Menri Monastery Severely Damaged by Monsoon Rains

Please Help Support Needed Repairs

We have heard from Menri Monastery, the Bon monastery in Dolanji, northern India that is home to His Holiness and many monks, that they have suffered severe damage from the recent monsoon rrains. Urgent repairs are needed to avoid further damage.

Menri estimates that the total needed to make all repairs will be more than $100,000,

His Eminence Menri Ponlop Trinley Nyima Rinpoche, the head teacher at Menri Monastery, reports that everyone is safe but some buildings have cracked and there have been some landslides, which blocked and heavily damaged the road between Menri and the nearby Tsungon Ratna Menling Nunnery (where nuns study the same Bon academic program toward a geshe degree as the Menri monks). Even Ponlop's own room suffered damage and leaks, which he has been attempting to repair himself.

Repairs are needed to the Medical College Building, which requires a supporting wall; foundation and support to repair the Yogi Temple, Stupla Temple and library building; walls and repairs for the nunnery road to repair a major landslide; and repairs and repainting of other buildings with water leakages.

If you would like to make a donation to Menri to help repair the damages, you can do so through His Eminence's foundation, Khyungdzong Wodsel Ling, at this website.
