Benefits of Joining Gompa
as a Member-Supporter
Gompa is a not-for-profit service supported by senior lamas of all the major lineage traditions. Since its formation, Gompa’s online services have raised over GBP £400,000 (USD $520,000) in additional support for the partner monasteries and nunneries, support which is playing an ever-increasing role in providing for the monks and nuns and also in supporting education and social welfare, both in the partner monasteries and nunneries and the local communities which they serve. Maintaining and developing Gompa’s services is dependent on the generosity of our member-supporters.
We cordially invite you to help to maintain and develop Gompa’s services and to enjoy all the benefits* of being a Gompa member-supporter, which include:
- Free unlimited arrangement and booking of prayers and pujas at the partner monasteries and nunneries with the option to view photos or videos of the requested prayers and pujas,
- Free access to high production quality webcasts, year round, of current courses, teachings and empowerments by eminent rinpoches, senior lamas and teachers at the partner monasteries, nunneries and international centres (see the eminent rinpoches, senior lamas and teachers teaching on Gompa),
- Continuous year round free access to the Gompa’s extensive library of past teachings by eminent rinpoches, senior lamas and teachers,
- The opportunity to support and participate in special events at the partner monasteries and nunneries such as major pujas and ceremonies, enthronements, prayer flag raising and animal releasing activities, with the option to view webcasts of select special events (see example past events),
- Access to the 'Offerings and Donations' service for sending offerings (together with your personal wishes or dedication) with no transfer fees to the partner monasteries and nunneries, at any time or for auspicious puja days or other special days.
By becoming a member-supporter you will also be helping to fulfil the aspiration of the participating senior lamas and all the partner monasteries and nunneries to:
- Provide online services for as many as possible of the Tibetan monasteries and nunneries throughout India and Nepal on a purpose built, advertising-free, not-for-profit alternative to commercial media platforms such as Facebook and YouTube,
- Continue to increase Gompa's support of educational, welfare and environmental projects in the partner monasteries and nunneries and the local communities which they serve,
- Continue to provide copies of all the video recordings of courses and teachings and other special events recorded by Gompa to the partner monastery and nunnery libraries,
- Continue to archive the recordings so that they can become available through the newly formed Tibetan International Digital Library (www.tidl.org), established under the auspices of H.H. the Dalai Lama to create an unprecedented digital library platform offering unified access to the major Tibetan cultural resource collections worldwide.
