TIBETAN BUDDHIST MONKS IN CLEVELAND
A RARE AND SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY!
June 17-30, 2025
The monks are refugees from Tibet who are now living in India. They are touring the United States to raise funds for their monastery and school. To be in the presence of these wonderful people and learn from their wisdom is truly a rare gift. click here to see information about the monks and their fundraising tour.
The monks will have a merchandise table out at each event with singing bowls, textiles, jewelry and other Tibetan and Buddhist items for sale.
The monastery is a 501(c)3 organization, and all donations and sponsorships are tax-deductible.
I am honored to be a co-coordinator of the monks’ Cleveland visit along with my friend Debbie Jones of The Ideal Method. We have volunteered to help the monks by scheduling all of their events. If you would like to host a program, please click here to see the program list, and contact me to schedule. Time slots listed below as “Events TBA” are still open.
The monks are available for personal blessings, pet blessings, house blessings and business blessings. Please contact me to schedule.
We are seeking a sponsor for a Tibetan cooking class and dinner with the monks. There are three sponsorship opportunities, between $200-600. Please contact me if interested.
