View this summary of the construction of the Kilung Shedra in 2018 HERE.
This video details the history of the shedra, its destruction by fire in 2016, and the current rebuilding of a modern shedra that will serve the educational, community, and spiritual needs of Dzachuka nomad children and monastics.
Funds are still needed for the construction planned in 2019! Donate HERE.
The huge basement of the Kilung Shedra and Community Center foundation is divided up into two spaces. The space on the bottom is filled with dirt and is engineered to keep the building stable in case of an earthquake. It also acts to keep the temperature more stable for the whole building. The contractors are working night and day, and not taking weekends off, to take advantage of the weather while it lasts.

On the hillside above the construction site, prayer flags were erected in offering for the benefit of everyone, and all Dza Kilung Rinpoche’s students worldwide.
Work continues at a high pace as the end of the building season approaches.

Heavy rains have slowed things down from time to time, but progress is being made!
World Sang Day (Dzamling Chisang), a ceremony of incense-offering for World Peace, was celebrated on June 28th, 2018 (the 15th day of the fifth Tibetan month.)
After the Groundbreaking Ceremony, construction began at the Kilung Shedra and Community Center.
Here is Dza Kilung Rinpoche at the construction site as the heavy equipment digs the foundation.
