Offering Light, Compassion, and a Future of Wisdom

At Giao Long Monastery, true transformation begins in the heart. When you offer to GLM, you are not only giving — you are planting seeds of Bodhicitta, the wish to bring relief and awakening to all beings. Your offering becomes part of a shared aspiration to build a community rooted in compassion, wisdom, and service.

Many friends choose to let GLM direct their offering to where it is most needed: daily monastic life, elder care, or Dharma education. Others support specific programs, such as helping students with limited means, strengthening outreach, or nurturing retreat spaces. Some choose long-term endowment offerings — a quiet light that continues long after it is made.

As GLM grows, our vision extends far beyond our physical home. We are building pathways for global learners online, in-person, and low-residency so that anyone, anywhere, may enter the Dharma without leaving their responsibilities behind.

The Tengyur teaches:
“A single act of generosity becomes a lamp that lights many lives.”
Tibetan: སྦྱིན་པ་གཅིག་གྱུར་ན། མི་མང་གྱི་ཚེ་དབང་མེ་ལྟར་འོད་སྤར།

Your offering becomes such a lamp — shining into places of suffering, loneliness, and futures waiting to unfold. If your heart feels called to walk with us, to help build a compassionate monastery, to support elders, and to bring Dharma to students around the world, Giao Long welcomes your intention and your light.

Offer what feels true.
Give from the heart.
Let us awaken this world together.

Your Offering Helps Compassion Come Alive

Your offering sustains the living pulse of GLM, allowing us to:

• Open the Dharma Path for Students: You help sincere learners — including those with limited means — receive education that cultivates compassion and clarity.
• Support Monastics and Teachers: Your offering honors those who dedicate their lives to study, meditation, and service, ensuring they have the conditions to guide others.
• Illuminate Community Life: Your offering helps create a warm, respectful environment where mindfulness and compassion naturally flourish.
• Strengthen Dharma Studies & Practice: You nourish GLM’s programs in philosophy, meditation, language, and compassionate outreach, supporting the full integration of study and practice.

The Tengyur reminds us:
“When an offering is made with a pure heart, its light continues long after the giver has gone.”
Tibetan: སྦྱིན་པ་ཐུགས་དག་པས་བྱས་ན། འོད་དུ་གསལ་བ་རིང་དུ་སྤར།

Your offering becomes part of this gentle radiance — supporting elders, strengthening Dharma education, and nurturing awakening in many lives.
