Support KCC

Inspired by our great teachers, Kalu Rinpoche and Bokar Rinpoche, KCC is building long-term retreat facilities at Ser Chö Ösel Ling near Goldendale, WA. The facilities will allow extended 1 and 3 year retreats and shorter retreats for groups and individuals.

Ser Chö Ösel Ling, the "Land of the Clear Light Golden Dharma," was purchased in 2001 thanks to a generous donation. KCC is currently focusing resources on developing the first phases of the Retreat Land Project before turning to our next dream: a new, larger urban center.

Ser Chö Ösel Ling is a retreat facility that will benefit all levels of practitioners—in short retreats of a day, to a month or more, to long retreats of up to 3 years. Anyone who is a benefactor of this work is also a beneficiary.

The only way to preserve the authentic teachings of our tradition is to guide people in on-going meditation practice. This not only safeguards ancient knowledge, it ensures that people discover within themselves immeasurable kindness and compassion. In time, some will become beacons of compassion and wisdom for all beings. Your gift will help us bring this to fruition.

 

KCC extends warm thanks to all contributors.  To date, we have raised over $2.6 million from nearly 500 people.  38 individuals have ensured their life's legacy by putting KCC in their wills.  Hundreds of volunteers have contributed countless hours of labor.  With joyous confidence, we strive towards our goal of completing retreat facilities as soon as possible.
