Dear Vajra brothers and sisters,
We know you’d like to visit Tsegyalgar West at some point in your life for a retreat. If you have the chance during the year ahead and would like to do some physical work, you are most welcome to come to our Karma Yoga retreats here at the Gar. We will be doing several projects in the next month and have our main work period start from October at the end of the rainy season through April of next year.
We know you’d like to visit Tsegyalgar West at some point in your life for a retreat. If you have the chance during the year ahead and would like to do some physical work, you are most welcome to come to our Karma Yoga retreats here at the Gar. We will be doing several projects in the next month and have our main work period start from October at the end of the rainy season through April of next year.
If you come now, you need to be in good
condition to work in a more relaxed way in the heat. From October on, the temperatures start to go
down and the environment is much more temperate and green in this most popular
time of year.
Work planned is for ordinary and special
maintenance to the main infrastructure (water system, Gompa, kitchen, casitas,
fencing, trails, gardens, etc). If you
have some expertise you are extremely welcome, if not, this is your chance also
to develop some manual skills!
Lodging is offered by the Gar. You will be given
a safety orientation. There is time each day to practice and enjoy the
spectacular beauty and profound blessings of this retreat center in the natural
tropical desert wilderness.
If you cannot join us in person to participate
because: (1) Physically you cannot do physical work (2) You simply prefer to do
other kind of activities, but you would like to participate in some way, please
help with a donation to cover some of these expenses. Current work projects for June-August
being done include:
-
water
proofing of 20 casitas; $180 usd for each casitas, 6 are now completed.
-

the fencing of the main area of the Gar; $120 usd to make a piece of new fence
close to the Gonpa, $600 usd for the material to repair the existing fencing of
the main area
-

metallic cover to the water spring, $120
