The Holy Vajrasana Temple and Retreat Center is expanding and will be building a second temple and retreat facility at the site of the True Dharma Temple in southern California. The first structure will be a single adobe ecodome that will serve as our base of operation and the Holy Heavenly Lake Xuanfa Dharma Center at Buddha Town in Hesperia, California with a series of domes that will include small areas or aspes for sleeping and a large communal kitchen and public bathrooms. CLICK for more on temporary Xuanfa Hesperia Dharma Center at Heavenly Lake.
More to follow on how you can build your own “hermit” meditation cave or help build the main double ecodomes for monks and laymen and for nuns and laywomen and how the proposed center may fit within the overall campus of Buddha Town, the site of the True Dharma Temple with its Ancient Buddhas Hall and home of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha. There may also be opportunities to build small shops around the edge of the temple to provide souvenirs and services to the many who will come to visit this holy place. Buddha Town will be home to other temples and related activities.
The Eco-Dome is a concept of using ancient technologies to create domes from the local earth that are suited to the extremes in temperatures experienced in the high desert where these facilities will be located and are ecologically sustainable.
