De-Tong Ling Buddhist Retreat, Kangaroo Island

How you can help

The funds needed to build the Stupa have been raised entirely by public donation, and the actual building work has been carried out by volunteers. What has already been achieved is extraordinary. Around $130,000 has been donated, and there have now been eight years’ worth of work retreats (averaging a month a year) totalling well over a hundred thousand work hours.

Right now we are urgently raising funds for the following reasons:

• to buy the Buddha Statue for the recess in the vase (approx $2,000)
• for the final decorations to beautify the stupa ($4,000-$7,000)
• for the safety railings ($3,000)
• for the glass blocks to create the light well and seal the room below ($2,000).

Can you offer any financial support? We need your help.

If you are unable to offer financial support, can you volunteer for a work retreat at De-Tong Ling? If so, contact the Volunteer Co-ordinator and read the section on Volunteers

The benefits of giving in this way to such a powerful object as a Stupa are immense. If merely walking around a stupa generates powerful positive karmic imprints, what need to mention the benefits of actively supporting the construction of a Stupa?
