FUTURE TARA STATUES

In the Mandala magazine, as the final touch to the article 'Green Tara Rising'*, it is noted that Lama Zopa Rinpoche is encouraging other centres to consider ordering a Tara statue as he is very happy with the art.

During the time the Tara statue has been in the making at Nalanda many visitors have seen her and some have already shown an interest in having a statue for their centre.

At the moment we are raising the funds for the first Tara statue for Osel Ling.  We have to get a real idea of how much it will cost and how it will take it's place on the site, finished, gold leafed and filled with mantras.  We are trying to find all the practical resources to get it done, but what we can't see is how much merit there is to have this statue realised further.

It's not easy to seperate the Osel Ling Tara statue project from all the other Tara statue projects, as what comes next depends on what happens with this one.  All the money raised for this statue will create the possibility for all the other statues to come. 

Whatever you can contribute, money, resources, links on your website, pleasemake a connection with this project.
