New Kitchen & Dining Room Project

We are pleased to announce that our new dining room and kitchen project is complete!. Prayer Wheel and new dining hall

We demolished the 'temporary' kitchen, which was built twelve years ago, and constructed a rather large two-story building during a few months of summer 2008. This summer we are applying all the finishing touches.

 

If you have been to Root, then you'll no doubt remember how basic our dining facilities were, with the outside seating and washing up area, not ideal when it's wet during monsoon, hot during summer and cold during winter! You will be surprised when you see the new building - providing an indoor dining area and washing facilities with an open view of the prayer wheel, gardens and gompa.

First floor accommodation

 

 

Upstairs are new single rooms, showers and toilets.

 

 

We thank all of those who helped sponsor the new building: "thank you" from our hearts!

Only one thing remains! Our kind Guru, Lama Zopa Rinpoche, exclaimed that the plastic tables and chairs in the new dining hall look as though they belong to "someone depressed, who doesn't think they can become enlightened!" So this summer we are hoping to upgrade and beautify the furnishings and furniture. Dining hall

If you would like to donate to the new dining tables and chairs, you are most welcome to do so through our website or in any of the usual ways.

We estimate that a table and seats for four to six people will cost approximately US$60.

We hope you will be able to help benefit the centre for future visitors and continue providing Dharma to those who pass through Bodhgaya, the holiest Buddhist site in the world.
