Further to our previous letters and information sent to you regarding development of the Birmingham Buddhist Maha Vihara and its Pagoda project, herewith sending some more information for your knowledge.

As we are reaching to end of project, still we need to find another £200,000.00. So, this time we are going to distribute 250 shares of Pagoda which we are going to build on top of building and all 28 Buddha statues will be kept inside the pagoda. According to engineers calculation of pagoda outer castings costs £250,000.00. While we are thanking for those who have sponsored items as well as monthly contributions, would like to inform you sponsor one or few shares in memory of your departed dearest and nearest ones or memorable event in your life. The one share is £300.00. We have made all arrangements to inscribe on copper plates to be installed at the premises to keep forever.

The management committee would like to bring to your attention that we have six luxury rooms to provide overnight stay for those who are coming from far away from the country. We do incur cost to use the facilities. This includes cost for water/electricity/Gas/Council tax linen and maintenance by our own workers. We felt that it is reasonable to request donations from the devotees to cover the expenses. The committee felt it is appropriate to request a sum of £60.00 for a room per night. This will enable us to provide excellent services for the devotees. The rooms could be booked in advance by direct communication.
