The Pema Chodrön Foundation recently awarded a $30,000 grant to Karmapa Center 16 in support of Phase Two of the Parinirvāṇa Stūpa.
The grant will be distributed over three years, with $10,000 given per year for 2026, 2027, and 2028.
Please join us in rejoicing in this excellent generosity to honor the life and teachings of His Holiness, the 16th Karmapa, and in support of building the Parinirvāṇa Stūpa — both in his memory and as a place of pilgrimage, study, contemplating, and meditating — for the benefit of all.
Inspired by this significant gift, KC16 has set a goal to match the $30,000 grant with donations from our benevolent individual supporters, by the end of July 2026, following the consecration of the Guru Rinpoche statue that was recently installed in our lovely pond.
Your kind donation will help us attain this goal! You are welcome to make a gift now or consider a multi-year pledge to help us reach this goal. Donate here.
With much gratitude,
Lynne Conrad Marvet
KC16 Board member
