Memberships and Donations

Kurukulla Center's goal is to help others through offering pure Buddhist teachings and activities in a setting which nurtures participants' spiritual growth and development. The Center is an all volunteer organization and as such, relies entirely on your support for our existence. Each year your generosity supports our resident teacher Geshe Ngawang Tenley, as well as our translator Damchoe. It allows the Center to host a variety of visiting teachers, classes and other activities for the benefit of all in the Boston area.

We are also very fortunate to have had a permanent home for Kurukulla Center in Medford since June 2001. Our monthly expenses range between $8,000 - 9,000 which covers expenses such as mortgage, building insurance, utilities, newsletters, etc.

Kurukulla Center was incorporated in the state of Massachusetts in 1990, and qualifies as a tax exempt not-for-profit corporation under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. All of your contributions are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. Also, please check with your employer to see if they have a matching gift program so that your contribution can be matched.

In addition to creating the possibility for Kurukulla Center, Geshe Tenley and our other resident teachers to continue to remain and thrive in Boston, your membership and donations come with additional benefits as an expression of thanks to you for your generosity and support. Different levels of membership are offered, as explained below. You may become a member, or make a donation of any amount, by credit card or check. All members receive Mandala Magazine.
