HOW TO DONATE DIRECTLY

The quickest way to help Thrangu Monastery is to donate directly to Lodro Nyinma Rinpoche's (Abbot of Thrangu Monastery) foundation account in HK. He can then withdrawal directly inside affected area: They desperately need rice and flour to feed the survivors.

Official reports now indicate that over 1500 people have died in the disaster the figure may grow higher as more collasped buildings are excavated. Over 12,000 - are injured. The freezing temperatures and high altitude have hampered search and rescue teams. Many hundreds of monks who arrived in the worst-affected areas from all over the region have been helping to dig out survivors by hand and cremate the dead. Monks, and rescue workers are also helping people by handing out food, money and clothes. Many people are still missing.

The Thrangu Tashi Choling monastery has been destroyed: the main temple managed to withstand the earthquake although the damage is extensive and it will have to be rebuilt. Survivors are in urgent need of assistance and Thrangu Rinpoche’s Lamas from centres all over the world are travelling to the area to help.

Rinpoche’s representative in the UK, Lama Wangyal, has set up an emergency fund to assist in the relief effort. The fundraising effort has been going for 72 hours and we would like to extend our profound gratitude to all those who have telephoned, e-mailed, and dropped in to the centre to offer support. We have received kind messages of support and donations from the UK, Germany, Poland, Austria, France, Belgium, Finland, Slovenia, Ireland, the USA, Canada, Japan, China, Australia, New Zealand, India, Nepal, Malaysia, Taiwan, Singapore, and other countries all around the World. Many thanks to everyone.
