“A small offering when hungry is worth a large one when full.”

Only those who have been to Sri Lanka can fully understand the suffering that the people are enduring, especially during the pandemic, economic crisis, and inflation. Many families skip meals or fall into a state of hunger. Especially in schools, many children do not have food to eat. In recent years, this difficult situation has continued to spread throughout the island nation. For a family here, 10 kg of rice holds immense value, bringing both warmth and affection.

Understanding the hardships faced by the locals, Truc Lam Zen Monastery has always received the attention of Vietnamese Buddhists both inside and outside the country to carry out many hunger relief programs for the poor in the Ambakote area.

Venerable Phap Quang hopes to continue to accompany the generous benefactors in spreading goodwill and supporting the poor in Sri Lanka through this difficult period, embodying the spirit of “the good leaves protect the worn-out leaves”. The gifts you send are always ensured to reach the right time, right situation, and right people.

The monastery gratefully accepts any donations you can offer.

Details of the programs are always widely announced on the website and social media pages of Truc Lam Zen Monastery.
