"The great Mongolian Lama, Zahi Pandita said, 'Among causal phenomena, the virtue of establishing monasteries is the greatest. There is no greater than that.'"

Lama Zopa Rinpoche



Bequests

We are confident that the seeds of virtue we cultivate here at Sravasti Abbey—in our own minds and in the minds of others—will bear fruit far into the future as we take future rebirths, working steadily towards the goal of enlightenment.

With that in mind, we hold a long-term view in our planning for the community and the physical space of Sravasti Abbey.

Likewise, planning for the long-term, we invite our friends and benefactors to consider perpetuating your care for a thriving sangha community by designating Sravasti Abbey as a beneficiary of your resources in your will.

We are not financial planners or planned giving specialists. Please consult your accountants and attorneys to investigate the best ways to make your gift and receive tax benefits. We are happy to help—to answer questions about future building and endowment plans, and to provide all the information you will need to designate your gift.

Here are some suggestions:

  • Bequest Gifts
    You can designate Sravasti Abbey in your will. You can name a specific amount, or assign a percentage of your total estate, or give a share of the remainder after gifts to your heirs.

  • Gifts of Retirement Plans
    You can name Sravasti Abbey as the beneficiary of your pension, 401K, IRA or other retirement plan.

  • Gifts of Life Insurance
    You originally bought life insurance for a specific purpose, but it’s possible that need has changed. You can name Sravasti Abbey as the beneficiary of your life insurance policy.

  • Endowment Gifts
    You can offer a special endowment grant from a foundation or charitable trust.

  • Gifts of securities, real estate, vehicles, and so forth are also welcomed. Your financial planner may have other ideas.

Contact Venerable Chonyi by writing the office to discuss your bequest gift to Sravasti Abbey.
