Please include Ganden Center on your holiday shopping list 
Dear friends of Ganden Center,
Please take a moment to make a tax-deductible end of year donation to Ganden Center. Ganden is a financially independent entity — we do not receive any funds from our umbrella organization, the New Kadampa Tradition, nor do we receive any other outside funds. Our only sources of funding are our kind students and benefactors.
If you have received benefit from our meditation classes and events, or if you support our vision of bringing peace of mind to the people of this region, please support us now during this season of giving.
By helping Ganden Center, you are helping others to create peace within their own hearts.
Here is our holiday wish list
You can make a donation on the bottom of the page using PayPal, or you can purchase an item on our Amazon Wish List and bring it by or ship it to the Center. Don’t worry if someone else has already purchased an item — extras are fine by us!
* Any donation valued at $25 or more qualifies for a tax donation letter. If you would like a tax donation letter, please be sure to give us your (snail) mail address when you make your gift. Letters will be mailed during the months of January and February 2013.
