Support a monastic
You can support the sangha living in Thosamling. At present the nuns living in Thosamling must contribute for their food cost since we do not have the funds to support them. Our wish is to make it possible to support at least monastics to start with.
The cost of supporting a nun are:
Rs.250 per day
Rs.7,500 per month
Rs.90,000 per year
