Help provide an administrative computer to the Gaden Shartse Monastery in exile



Dear Friends of Tibetech.org
In these very difficult times we are requesting your help... not for ourselves but for a very special Tibetan institution seeking to survive and evolve n exile.

Bottom Line: We are looking to raise $1300 in donations to purchase a very important computer for the Gaden Shartse Monastery in Exile in southern India. We believe this computer is very important to meeting the goals of the new Abbott in modernizing the administration of this 600 year old institution.



By "teaching a man to fish we feed him for a lifetime".

The Gaden Shartse Monastery ( www.gadenshartse.net ) was originally founded in 1409 in Tibet. Following the Chinese Incursion of 1959, the monastery was destroyed and only a fraction of the 3000 monks survived. The monastery has since been re-established in exile in southern India and is the home to the monks which visit our community and many others in the US annually to share their beautiful wisdom arts and culture.

Our organization Tibetech.org is a 501C3 Corporation dedicated to Bridging Tibetan communities in exile - one Tibetan at a Time, One Computer at a time. Your Donations are tax deductible and go directly to the bottom line.

Technology is our weapon of choice in the plight of injustices faced by the Tibetan people. The monasteries in exile are the heart and presevation of this ancient lineage and wisdom trandition. Those of us working in the technology industries may surely appreciate how easy and effective it is for us to obtain computers here.

Please read the request for this computer and how it will be used at the Gaden Shartse Monastery in exile. Having visited the monastery myself, I can assure you personally this computer will be FULLY utilized.

Unless otherwise requested Tibetech.org will include all donors names to the monastery Abbott with the offering of funds for this computer.

Donations may be sent to:

228 Commerical Street #78
Nevada City, CA 95959
