AKANISHTA BUDDHIST CENTER like other organizations and businesses has needs. As a not-for-profit organization, it depends on the kindness of others.
Additional Center Needs
The following are immediate; i.e., high priority, or as close to that as possible.
1. A new refrigerator. Our present one closes, but improperly. Also,
the shelf arrangement is poor.
Those listed below are near immediate.
1. New driveway.
2. A 4-drawer filing cabinet for the office.
3. A cabinet with doors for the sitting room to replace the bookcase near
the bookstore. It will be used for items in the bookcase, plus gompa

60" inches is too long.)

normal life of one, I'm told.

The following are low priority needs. Some may belong in a higher priority
category.
1. Compost bin.
