Wish List - Oddiyana Dharma Sanctuary is a Buddhist Temple in Hervey Bay located at 399 Charlton Esplanade, Torquay, Queensland Australia

A Gift List for the kind sponsors of the Oddiyana Dharma Sanctuary

Thank to all our kind sponsors who have shown interest in supporting a wonderful community project. We have made out a list for the sponsors who have so kindly offered their support to the Oddiyana Dharma Sanctuary. These items are for short and long term plans so we have been optimistic in our prayers for it is a Buddhist concept that "What you think is". Some of the Buddhist items you see you may not understand why they cost so much but from a Buddhist perspective things such as Prayer Wheels, Stupas and large Buddha statues inspire compassion, generosity and loving kindness in the hearts of Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike. We rejoice in your merit of having a heart of generosity and will dedicate your merit to the benefit of all beings which is what you will be doing through your generous acts of loving kindness.
We are in the process of creating a Board of Generosity where we will highlight the generosity of our sponsors.
We are in need of a cash donation and/or necessary items for the kitchen and bedrooms such as bunk beds and corresponding bedding in time for our first Pre Christmas Meditation Retreat on the 9 th December 2011.
We thank you for having the desire to help your community so in appreciation of your kindness will work hard to benefit as many beings as possible in honour of your selfless act. Thank you
