Your help is currently needed in the reconstruction of the Dhamma Hall at Dhamma Phala — allowing more students to learn Vipassana in the philippines. 

In 2022 Dhamma Phala experienced a total shutdown as their buildings were deemed unfit for use due to building foundation issues and severe termite damage. 

To help re-open the center and fix structural issues in their buildings, Dhamma Phala and VCF partnered to establish the Philippines Relief Fund. With the support of generous old students — Dhamma Phala has now rebuilt the dormitory buildings, renovated the bathroom blocks, improved the dining halls, and installed a new gate. The temporary Dhamma Hall, which will go back to its original use as the dining hall, now has steel frames that replaced the previously wooden structures to avoid future damage.  

With this rebuilding and reconstruction project, Dhamma Phala was able to re-open in January 2023 and hold its first ten-day course after a hiatus of 3 years due to Covid and termite damage. Courses are currently being offered once per month.  

While the progress is exciting, help is still needed to rebuild the Dhamma hall where the old one used to be. More funds are needed to construct the permanent Dhamma Hall, which will increase the center capacity to 50 students, 10 servers, and 2 ATs. Any continued support that can be provided to Dhamma Phala via the Philippines Fund is greatly appreciated.
