Please help Support Lawudo Gompa

Lawudo Gompa Project

Today 35 years after Lawudo Gompa was built it is in such poor structural condition that it could collapse at any time, therefore Lama Zopa Rinpoche has said that he would be very happy if it could be rebuilt. Thus the Lawudo Gompa Project has come into existence. The design of the new Gompa will be very similar to that of Kopan Gompa in Kathmandu only smaller. The main statue inside will be a 22 feet high Padmasambhava statue and Rinpoche has instructed that the Gompa should be big enough to seat 150 people and with rooms for eight Sangha. There will also be rooms built around the Gompa terraced into the side of the mountain for individual retreats. The estimated cost of the project is US$1,000,000.

This project marks a new phase in the development of this mystical blessed place called Lawudo, with a new Gompa and comfortable modern accommodation and facilities, not to mention a helipad for those who would prefer to avoid the two/three day walk from Lukla and would rather fly in by helicopter from Kathmandu. It is our hope that although the amount of money required to fulfill Rinpoche’s wishes for Lawudo is not insignicient we may very soon be able to offer Rinpoche a new Gompa at Lawudo exactly as he wishes.
