As you all know, Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico quite hard. In fact it was the strongest and most destructive hurricane to strike the island since 1928. We have heard from a few Sangha members in Puerto Rico who let us know that they are safe even though the devastation is major. However, we have not heard from everyone. So, we are very concerned. Please keep them in your prayers.

We’d like to help at least our Sangha members to recover as much as we can. Please consider donating toward a fund we have set up to assist in relief and recovery after this incredibly destructive storm.

Your tax deductible donations can be made payable to “Padmasambhava Buddhist Center” with “Compassionate Action Fund” in the memo. Please mail check or money order to:

Padmasambhava Buddhist Center
ATTN: Compassionate Action
618 Buddha Highway
Sidney Center, NY 13839
