Auspicious Updates about Jaigaon Monastery, Part Three: Videos

In the First Part of our Auspicious Updates for the Jaigaon Monastery series, we showed pictures detailing the construction updates and progress made in the past several months. In Part Two, we showed you images of daily life in the Monastery. Now for the final installment, we have collected a few short videos to give you a sense of what it feels like to be at the monastery. Please press play on any video to start.

Establishing Sakya Jaigaon Monastery is the heart project of His Holiness Jig/dal Dagchen Dorje Chang, who envisioned a center at this location to facilitate the ideal study and practice of the Mahayana teachings and to provide a well-rounded education to both monastics and local children.

There is still time to donate by March 3, 2026, the Festival of Miracles (Tib. Chotrul Duchen), which commemorates the culmination of Buddha Shakyamuni’s display of miracles over 15 days. And because we have reached our initial matching goal of $20,000, generous donors have offered to match an additional $5,000!
