Help a nun meditate for the welfare of all living beings- for kindness and compassion to shine.

Wellington

I am embarking on a three year meditation retreat something many Buddhists aspire to do. To ease my financial pressure all donations are gratefully received. This will be done in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition under the guidance of a teacher. I will be based in New Zealand with international travel once a year to attend retreat specific required empowerments.

The benefit of three year retreat are a pressure cooker environment that purifies the mind and emotions in order ultimately to bring benefit to beings.

Use of funds

Costs of accomodation, food and power. Three return flights to attend retreat empowerments in America.

Ongoing Retreat Progress 4 May 2026

Hi. Just a thankyou to all the wonderful contributors for all the support so far for the retreat training expenses. You make this possible and without support it would not be achievable to travel for the required training. Next travel will be America in August for the next year of the Tibetan Buddhist Yangti Nakpo retreat training. Each day I dedicate the merits of my practice to you who are making this possible. Even more importantly in these years we must keep practicing for the wellbeing of humanity.

On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
