We are raising 5 million Danish kroner to construct Scandinavia’s first dedicated 3-year retreat facility — on the grounds of Manjushri Buddha Retreat Center in Vesterbølle in Himmerland. The goal is to begin construction in 2027. Your support makes it possible.
You can support with a one-time contribution or a fixed monthly amount. Both are tax-deductible in Denmark. There is no minimum amount.
The donation form is opening soon. Write to us at contact if you wish to contribute now.
Manjushri Buddha Retreat Center is approved by the Danish Tax Authority under Section 8A of the Tax Assessment Act. This means your donation is tax-deductible in Denmark.
The deduction is approximately 26 percent of the donated amount — up to 20,000 DKK per year. You do not need to do anything yourself. When you provide your CPR number with your donation, the centre automatically reports your contribution to the tax authorities, and the deduction appears on your annual tax statement.
Companies can provide a CVR number and receive a deduction on the same terms.
All funds go directly towards the construction of the retreat facility — accommodation for the yogis, a communal temple and the practical facilities needed to complete three uninterrupted years within the retreat boundary.
The centre is run by volunteers and has no commercial interests. Eva Bjerrum and Claus Hermansen have lived and worked on the grounds since 1984. This is a project carried by people who have dedicated their lives to this place.
