KARMA KAGYU DHARMA SOCIETY BUILDING FUND

ur
Society was founded on 26/8/1979 and has been able to progress rapidly with the co-operation
of the Committee, support and advice given by venerable monks,
government officials, the public and devotees. Now we have a
membership of 310 and the Society is now a well known active
Buddhist centre in Negeri Sembilan.
Tibetan
Vajrayana Buddhism (Karma Kagyu) belongs to the Mahayana teachings
of Sakyamuni Buddha. Karma Kagyu Lineage is one of the four main
sects of Vajrayana Buddhism. It originated from Tilopa and its
unbroken lineage has been in existence for more than a thousand
years now. The main practices in Karma Kagyu are Mahamudra and the
four tantras.
Our Society was officially registered in 1984. Owing to the increase
in activities and membership, the present premises is not sufficient
for use. Thus, the Committee plans to have its own building. This is
also the common sentiment of members.
In
1990, a generous housing developer donated a piece of land of about
30,000 square feet situated at StarLight Garden, Seremban to
our Society for the construction of our building. It was with the
help of our Committee Members and the Members of Parliament and
State Assembly that the land was approved by the Local Council for
religious use. After that we began planning for the building of the
Society's building. The building plan has now been approved by the
Local Authority and we can now begin construction. At present the
piling work has completed, but as it is a major architectural
endeavour, the estimated cost of construction and furnishing will
come to RM 1.5 million (Approx. US400,000).
Since
ancient times Buddhism spread far and wide. It has been due to the
efforts of the devotees to build the temples and centres. We hope
all devotees and public will donate generously so that the
construction can be completed early. With your generosity you plant
the good seeds of great merits. Future generation will benefit
immensely from this project. When the building is completed, we will
fully utilise the premises to propagate the Buddha Dharma to benefit
all sentient beings. This will also contribute towards the nation's
peace, progress and well being.
