Chung Tai, the world’s leading Buddhist monastery, plans to build the Western Hemisphere’s largest all-purpose Zen monastery in Texas. Its artistic, cultural Buddhist buildings and articles will be priceless assets of the USA and all mankind. This is a historic event, likely to have a great, beneficial impact for one thousand years or more. Its first project of the Texas Pagoda Chan Monastery has been completed. The ensuing project is to build Chung Tai International Retreat Center, whose beauty, peace, and value will be stunning.

It is stated in many sutras that helping construct a Buddhist monastery has unthinkable merits and blessings. Donors will have wealth and health life after life, enjoy the True Teaching and the company of holy beings, and eventually attain enlightenment.

Your support is needed for this great endeavor to come true. As the money received will fund the project and as the living and the deceased will benefit greatly with the blessings of the Three Jewels, we invite you to support our efforts.

As one of the participants of the monastery, you may make offerings to the Buddha, establish Eternal Blessing and Longevity Tablets, Memorial Tablets, and Ash Urn Niches.

Payment can be made by cash or check, payable to Chung Tai Chan Monastery USA. The Monastery is a religious, non-profit organization; donations are fully tax-deductible.

Please contact Texas Pagoda Chan Monastery for further information.

The merit field is precious and we should sow it now. If not now, then when?
