美國禪學院謹啟：我們即將於道場內增建一座具深遠意義的舍利堂建築新翼，作為僧俗二眾的靈骨安奉之所，以慈悲心回應佛弟子對於身後歸依處的殷切需求。
正如建築設計圖所示，舍利堂主體建築的中央，將供奉一尊量身打造的地藏菩薩聖像。此尊莊嚴聖像，象徵著菩薩度脫眾生、引領亡者出離幽冥的悲願，為整個空間注入深遠的靈性力量。
此擴建計畫，不僅是對亡者的安置，也是對未來世代佛弟子的一份慈心布施。願在地藏菩薩的悲願加被下，已逝者得安息，遺族得安慰，慧命
歡迎隨喜捐款: 您的發心，將協助完成此具意義的建築、佛像與環境佈置。
預約龕位安奉: 現已開放預約龕位，歡迎為自己或摯愛之人預留靈骨安奉之處。(附註：龕位實際位置，依靈骨安奉之順序，由寺院統籌。)
供養特定功德項目: 可供養地藏菩薩聖像、佛壇、燈具或其他建築細節，以親人、師長、善友之名修福迴向。
讓我們共同建造的不僅是一座建築，而是一座承載慈悲、記憶與修行的法身舍利聖地。
The U.S. Zen Institute is honored to share the upcoming expansion of our temple grounds—a sacred columbarium wing designed to offer a permanent spiritual resting place for members of our community, both monastic and lay.
As shown in the architectural plans, the very center of this new wing will be graced by a custom-sculpted statue of Bodhisattva Kṣitigarbha—protector of beings in transition and embodiment of boundless compassion.
This expansion is a compassionate offering to the future—a space where remembrance and spiritual practice intertwine. In the presence of Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva, may those who rest here find peace, and may their loved ones find comfort.
Make a Contribution: Your generosity helps bring this vision to life. Contributions support the construction, the custom sculpture, and the creation of a sacred environment.
Reserve a Niche: Pre-reservation is now open for those wishing to secure a place for themselves or loved ones within the columbarium. (Note: The actual location of the niche will be arranged by the temple according to the order in which the remains are enshrined.)
Sponsor a Sacred Element: Opportunities are available to sponsor the Kṣitigarbha statue, altar, lighting, or architectural features in dedication to someone you love.
Let us build not just a space—but a sanctuary of continuity, compassion, and awakened remembrance.
