The Supporting Sangha Fund: A Sacred 30-Days of Offering

Land of Joy is creating the opportunity to practice generosity in one of the most joyful and meritorious ways – supporting ordained Sangha.

Every year monastics come to the land of Joy to lead or engage in retreat. The space is freely offered and we’re inviting you to help support this wonderful practice of giving.

As well as hosting visiting monastics, Land of Joy is now blessed to be the home of Phara Khenchen Rinpoche, who will be residing with us for the foreseeable future. His presence brings an extraordinary opportunity for our community and retreatants to connect with monasticism right here at our retreat centre.

“The Sangha are the supreme field of merit for generating extraordinary virtue.” 

Lama Zopa Rinpoche

Your offerings will help us continue to:

  • Offer nourishing meals for Rinpoche and visiting monastics (£4 per day)

  • Maintain and offer precious retreat facilities to offer to visiting sangha (£25 per day)

  • Sponsor visiting FPMT monks and nuns to complete solitary and group retreats at Land of Joy (£35 a day)

By supporting the Sangha, you’re not just helping individuals—you’re preserving and transmitting the Buddha’s teachings for future generations.

Whatever the size of your gift, it, will create ripples of benefit that extend far beyond what we can measure. Every contribution sustains the heart of the Dharma and enables the profound transformation that happens when qualified teachers and sincere students come together.

From the depths of our hearts, thank you for helping us nurture this precious opportunity.

Campaign ends August 27th, 2025. Our annual campaign goal of £2,000 becomes beautifully achievable when shared as a community.

Practicing generosity creates a transformative ripple effect that touches both giver and receiver. Through acts of giving – whether sharing material resources, time, knowledge, or simple kindness – we cultivate deep compassion, loosen our grip on material attachments, and forge meaningful connections with others. This practice of generosity doesn’t just create positive karma; it opens our hearts, bringing inner peace while actively contributing to the well-being of all beings.

Our Branches of Joy are the monthly donors who help our work flourish and grow. Through their steady commitment, this support helps us cultivate a sanctuary where wisdom and compassion can blossom. By supporting Branches of Joy, you embrace this timeless wisdom, joining a community dedicated to alleviating suffering and spreading compassion in our interconnected world.
