Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

I am Chandrabodhi, living in India.  Many of you will know me; for many years I have been part of TBM and the Western Buddhist Order.  I am developing the Urgyen Sangharakshita Meditation Centre at Warakwadi, in the very beautiful countryside near Nanded in Maharastra. 

This year, we are holding a Buddha Festival at Warakwadi to attract the Buddhist and non Buddhist people. This way we want to establish the Buddhist culture, it is a very important part of our vision to attract people in India to the Dhamma.  Actually, the inspiration for this came from the Buddhafield Festival in UK; we want to create a ‘Buddha Mela’ here in India. 

But this is the first year we have done this, and I am appealing for your support.  Please sponsor me and help me reach my target of UK £700- this is what we need to guarantee the event is a success. 

The festival will be inaugurated by the Cultural Minister of Maharastra; there will be meditation Workshops led by me, and talks by many distinguished visitors – plus a Cultural Programme. This festival will be on the lines of the Buddhafield Festival in the UK; I want that this Buddha Festival should become the regular feature of our Meditation Centre. It will be on Buddha Purnima day, the anniversary of the Buddha’s Enlightenment - which falls on 19th of May this year.

So, we are running various activities, and we need some help from you. Of course, we will be raising funds locally as well.  Could you please donate us 500 to 700 pounds to meet the expenses?  For this we will be very much grateful to you!  I know that we can do it together!

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Fwbo (Dhammaloka) will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
