For more than 30 years, Dzogchen Beara has offered a sanctuary of peace and healing to all who visit.
Like many charities, we are feeling the pressure of rising costs and less predictable income and more than ever, we depend on the generosity of friends who appreciate the importance of what we do.
In 1992, in an act of extraordinary generosity, Peter and Harriet Cornish made a gift of their home, land and buildings – nearly everything they owned – to create “a spiritual home for people of all religions and none”. Since then, Dzogchen Beara has survived and grown, through the continued support of countless friends.
Inspired by the past and looking to the future, you are invited you to join this chain of generosity. Your contribution to the Friends of Dzogchen Beara Fund will help us to build a dependable foundation for the years ahead.
This year, we need to raise €390,000 to bridge the gap between our income and operating costs.
Can you help us continue our work with a one-time or monthly donation?
Regular donations are especially valuable because they allow us to plan ahead with greater confidence and stability.
Your support will help us:
· Keep Dzogchen Beara open and accessible to all
· Maintain a peaceful environment for retreats
· Help those on low incomes attend retreats and to avail of spiritual care
· Support our resident community of Buddhist practitioners
· Support the continuation of the authentic Buddhist tradition of Tibet
· Offer teachings that nurture compassion, wisdom, and inner freedom
Tax Efficient Giving
If you donate €250 or more in one calendar year and pay tax in Ireland, we can claim an extra 31% tax back on your gift, so every €100 you donate will become €131, at no extra cost to you!
Every donation makes a difference.
As Buddha said:
“Do not overlook tiny good actions… even tiny drops of water will fill a huge vessel.”
