Dear Beloved Community,
Dear Friends on the Path,
Interested in practicing mindfulness, living in community, and serving the Deer Park Monastery with your construction skills? The monastery is forming a team of lay volunteers to offer their time and service to help build our new residence for the Monks at the monastery. The team would reside at the monastery or commute if some live near the monastery during this period of construction need.
We have finished our first plan check (good news!) We have raised all the needed funds for the building. This is a wonderful Sangha-building opportunity, very much like in the old days of the “barn raising” tradition.
We hope to start work on the project in mid- to late January.
We still need volunteers with construction or labor experience, especially skilled trades-people (Purchasing, Framing, HVAC, Electrical, Plumbing), who can commute or stay at the monastery, ideally for two weeks to three weeks, or for one month or more.
If you have some construction/labor experience or know professionals in the area who may be willing to offer some of their time, please contact us as soon as possible.
Also, please use this SignUp link if you’d like to volunteer.
Please help us forward this message to your local Sangha members.
Thank you,
Brother Phap Dung
and the Deer Park Monastery Construction Team
