We share the words of encouragement, trust, appreciation and great support that Lama Zopa Rinpoche gave us in March 2023, one month before leaving his body.

"In Italy we have land. This is historically the first Tibetan Monastery in Italy... I want everyone to participate, that everyone's minds, happily, come together to build this Monastery... in order to create merit, ok?
It's incredible, incredible. Wow, wow, wow! There are many mountains, lots of space, incredible, a beautiful Monastery…
