Expansion Projects

Lhawang Gatsal

Lotus Garden is very happy to announce that the Lhawang Gatsal improvement project is almost complete.  The air-conditioning system and insulation of the building was finished by the beginning of this year’s Shedra program, and the sangha enjoyed cool temperatures for all of the teachings, classes and discussion groups.  The 9-ton air conditioning system is a green, geo-thermal design that uses significantly less energy than a traditional system to keep the shrine room cool even with the entire sangha assembled inside. 

The walls, closet and audio/visual booth inside the main entrance have been dry walled and painted.  Red double-doors have been installed at both entrances to replace the sliding barn doors.  A beautiful stone floor was laid in front of the main entryway, and a paved walkway will be installed before the Künzang Gongpa Zangthal program.
