LTC has a special interest in the welfare of the dear animals. We hold regular sutra recitations at various animal sanctuaries and rescue farms throughout SE Queensland, benefiting in the most extensive of ways. Spiritually, Reciting the sutra leaves positive imprints on their minds, and physically, all donations collected on the day are offered to the host to help care for the animals.
Our library is one of the best Buddhist libraries in Australia! It is funded by donations in kind, any profit from sale of books in our shop, and from a regular and generous stream of monetary donations. Offering to the library is the part of the practice of making offerings to the Dharma Jewel, and the highest form of the generosity.
Help support our resident western teachers, volunteers at LTC for over 20 years. This is an opportunity to show your support for Eddie Peet and Miffi Maxmillion, LTC’s only full-time volunteers and regular class leaders, and registered FPMT teachers. Having devoted a combined 44 years of their lives to LTC, and this is a way we can give something back.
On Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s advice, we need a 2ft statue of Lama Yeshe to complete our altar. We have commissioned the superbly talented and devoted Denise Griffin (in France) to hand-sculpt one for us. We then consecrate the statue, and offer the mould to other FPMT centres.
Rinpoche’s vast visions are truly mind-boggling! Donations to the merit box go towards every single one of Rinpoche’s projects, as well as many give-where-most-needed funds and other FPMT activities around the world. Even here at LTC, we have benefited from three Merit Box grants!
