  5. Volunteering at Sakya

Sakya Monastery is a non-profit spiritual organization governed by the Head Lama, H.E. Avikrita Vajra Sakya, and a board of advisors who contribute their time and effort to help run the monastery. All the events taking place at Sakya Monastery depend upon the generosity and devotion of members, friends, and well-wishers.

We are always looking for volunteers to get involved in the various activities and practices at the monastery. People can volunteer their time, their skills or help the monastery in many ways.

Marici Fellowship

The Marici Fellowship is the Community Outreach program here at Sakya Monastery. Created by His Eminence Avikrita Rinpoche as a way for Sangha members to build compassionate connections with people in our community, we help provide hope and assistance for those who need it most. Learn more at The Marici Fellowship web page.

If you are thinking about making community outreach part of your personal practice, please join us for a brief information session to see what Marici Fellowship is all about. Please email marici@sakya.org to find out about the next meeting.
