A Sanctuary for Peace and Understanding
Since our founding in 2005 by our devoted Vietnamese members, White Sands Monastery has grown into a sanctuary of peace and mindfulness. Over the years, we have welcomed thousands of visitors from across the United States. Many Western friends have come to walk the path of mindfulness with us; to learn, to meditate and to find peace amidst the noise of daily life.
Support our mission of peace and compassion. Your generosity helps us to continue offering these valuable teachings and resources to our community.
Birth of the White Sands Serenity Stupa
We are now embarking on the construction of a Stupa at White Sands. A Stupa is a place to respectfully hold the urns of ashes of members who have passed away and whose bodies have been cremated. The Stupa will be a place of remembrance, a symbol of enlightenment, peace and compassion. It will be a place for reflection, a spiritual home for generations to come, and a reminder of the impermanence of life and the beauty of mindful living.
This is an invitation to join in a collective act of love and gratitude. Each contribution, no matter the size, will help lay the foundation for a structure that will serve our community into the future.
Let us build this Stupa together, as a community on this path of mindfulness and compassion. On behalf of the entire Sangha, I thank you deeply for your continued support, generosity, and presence.
Namo Buddhaya.
