It is a Buddhist tradition to offer donations to monasteries and nunneries with requests to do specific prayers. These donations help to support the monks and nuns and bring spiritual benefit for the sponsor. Prayers can also be requested for removing obstacles and creating auspicious circumstances.

The Namkhyung Monastery Prayer Request Service offers the opportunity to request prayers and special practices for you, your friends, or relatives who may be ill, experiencing difficulties, or who have died. Donations can also be made for specific drupchens and ceremonies and for the annual summer retreat (Yarne).

The prayers and practices are performed at Shechen’s main monastery, Namkhyung Tennyi Dargyeling, in Boudhanath Nepal, and occasionally at other branches of Shechen (monasteries, nunnery, and retreat centres) in the Himalayan region.

By making an offering a spiritual connection is established between the person who is in need of prayers and those who are reciting the prayers on their behalf. The prayers will be performed especially for the purpose/person for which they are requested.

The monastery receives many prayer and ceremony requests through both this online service and the local community. To assist us in processing your prayers in the best way, for urgent prayer requests please give us your ideal date, and wait to make that donation until we can confirm the timing you requested.
