Fall 2009: The Foundation for the Temple begins

Based on the design drawings from Lama Pema Dorje Rinpoche, we began the construction of the foundation in the fall of 2009. The temple was designed after the Buddhist temples in South-east Asia. The small temple would include a walkway around the perimeter of the temple, and there would be a porch extending out form the main entrance with a large bell hanging from the roof. Pilgrims could approach the temple from the porch, ring the bell, and do circumambulation around the perimeter of the temple.
