Dear friends in the Dhamma,
It is time for another report.
Hildegard is still undergoing follow-up treatment. The progress is good and she is training diligently.
The treatment there will certainly take another 2 weeks and we will see what further steps are then possible.
Hildegard would like to thank you very much for all your good wishes for her recovery and your metta for her healing process. She still feels very supported by it.
Our shell construciton is growing....
And here in Dhammacari, the building shell is growing upwards. So far, despite the fog, some rain and snow, the weather conditions have been so good that the carpenters have been able to work continuously. As rain has been forecast for tomorrow, they are even working until 22:00 today so that they can still cover everything up nicely.
Site visit by Ellen, one of our architects, here together with Robert and Ronald, our master carpenter.
This will be the view from the large window in the meditation room

The second storey ceiling is screwed down…..
….and protected with foil
….finished…
The first binder takes its place……
….and gradually all the others…
The first roof surfaces above the meditation room….
…and here you will soon be meditating: a view of the future meditation room with the large window opening.
The entire shell is covered with a thin insulating layer of wood fiber boards, which also serves as weather protection and seals all window openings until the windows are installed.
The tall crane not only moves heavy components….it also serves as a climbing frame for the carpenters to take beautiful panoramic photos…
…yes, we also had sunny days again…
We are looking for 100 permanent donors
The number of monthly permanent donations has now grown to 36….has already reached 1/3…
Many thanks to all those who express their appreciation for this Dhamma project on a monthly basis for a year or more.
Traditionally, the Buddha’s teachings are preserved and growth is encouraged through voluntary giving.
Here at Dhammacari we have also been passing on the teachings on a danabasis for more than 18 years. Only in this way is it possible to make the teachings accessible to all people.
Thus, not only the foundations, such as the house and previous expansion steps, but also the ongoing operation have been supported on a Danabasis.
This project can be shared by many people.
Everyone can play a part in creating this “rock in the surf” in these turbulent times.
Another 64 permanent donors are needed
Who will join in?
Who will become a permanent donor with €100/month for a year or longer?
As always, every contribution is welcome!
Furthermore, one-time or repeated offerings of Dhamma in any amount are also welcome and meritorious. Everyone can make a contribution within their means to make the Dhamma accessible to many people.
How can you donate?
Please indicate in the bank transfer
