Ksitigarbha Pavilion Roof Project
We are currently raising funds to reroof the Ksitigarbha Pavilion. The original wood shake roof has deteriorated over the years and needs to be replaced. Respect for Tibetan architecture, fire prevention, and longevity were among the factors that resulted in the selection of the copper-toned metal roof.
