When you help build a sanctuary for Dhamma practice, every wholesome result that arises from that land becomes part of your own kammic store.
At the KPYUSA retreat center in Ukiah, practitioners learn practical wisdom to heal personal trauma, resolve life’s challenges, and find lasting peace. By sustaining the conditions for others to grow, you create the exact kammic support you will draw upon when facing your own obstacles.
After our original retreat facilities were destroyed by the Northern California wildfires, years of recovery and legal settlements have finally concluded. We are now cleared to rebuild. Your donations go directly toward restoring power and water infrastructure, clearing the property, and rebuilding the center to welcome retreatants home.

Supporters often ask what items are most helpful to the temple’s daily operations or suitable for Sangha-dana offering. To help make your offering more meaningful and practical, we’ve put together a list of suggested items below. If you’d like to contribute, please feel free to reach out to us by email or call so we can confirm current needs. We’ll do our best to keep this list updated as things change. We deeply appreciate your kindness. Anumodana.
If you choose to ship items directly to the temple, kindly inform us in advance. Packages sometimes arrive without a sender’s name, making it difficult to identify the donor. Letting us know ensures we can properly acknowledge your gift and confirm its arrival.
