Our teacher Kushok's vision:
"It would be good to have a place here in the city, easy to access, people can find it easily.  Later on, we can think about a place outside the city.  This retreat centre would be for people to come for meditation, retreat, and even a little vacation.  It could have a nice pond and birdhouses set up and like that.  This would be a place for older sangha members to be together, to discuss Dharma, to make offerings in the shrine room, to have peaceful surroundings.  There could be a kind of a hospice and people would volunteer.

Every season we hold retreats to help and benefit all beings. Every month we do special practices like Chenresig, Tara, Vajrasattva and Medicine Buddha.  This is really important.  Eventually we could see about a teacher in both places.  We might have different classes for meditation, philosophy, ritual and so on.  It will take lots of effort, not just money but time and work.  It will be good if everyone works together.  We need to think, this is for all beings. It plants a seed."
