Supporting Sanghas
We are proud to introduce the sanghas who have pledged their support to the Saving Each Other Together project.
These sanghas are dedicated to the common goal of leading us toward a brighter future.
They understand the urgency of the situation and have taken steps to generate positive merit through acts of wisdom and compassion. They have joined forces to recite mantras and prayers, build representing images and structures of Buddha's body, speech, and mind, and offer organizational support to group ceremonies for Repelling Obstacles.
To pledge your sangha’s support, please email us at info@namchak.org.
