Important information!

On March 5, 2025, at 4:00 AM, a massive boulder crashed into the prayer hall, completely destroying it. Fortunately, no monks were in the monastery at that time, so no one was harmed. Had it happened just an hour later, the consequences could have been devastating.

The prayer hall must be fully rebuilt, and the surrounding rocks secured to protect the monastery in the future.

We urgently need your donations to make this possible.
