"In the Jasmine Garden of Benefit and Happiness..."

Requesting the Turning of the Wheel of Dharma

"From the myriads of billowing clouds of your sublime wisdom and compassion, Please send down a rain of vast and profound Dharma, So that in the jasmine garden of benefit and happiness there may be growth, sustenance, and increase for all these living beings."

~ from Offering to the Spiritual Guide

Over the last month you may have noticed changes in the yard at Drolma Center. Through the kindness of many people, we have worked hard to create a magic garden for everyone to enjoy.

In addition to the existing hibiscus, we have added over 40 areca palms to spatially define the garden, and a magnificent king sago palm at the front. We have also added night blooming jasmine, arabian jasmine, miami gardenia, white, red, orange and yellow bougainvillea, yellow bamboo, and clumps of snake plant and pampas grass, all surrounding our beautiful and sacred Bodhi Tree.

We have also just planted a stunning royal poinciana tree at the side of the car park, which will create spectacular style and shade.
