Beside remittance from workers abroad, gumbas might be another good source of remittance. Imagine how many gumbas are in kathmandu alone. Altogether it must be $100s of millions of $$$$$$$$$. While our leaders and officers takes money outside, these people bring outside money back home. Imagine 100s of people building monastry, buying local hardwares and then employing locals to keep the monastry running.  Best of all, those who joins monastry are the poor and minorities. Rich kids dont go to monastry. And they all learn Dharma which is what is needed in time like this.

Foreign currency source of income
marketing Nepal as a land of Buddha Dharma
Local Employment
Teaching Dharma

Monastries are as good as any other industries that employs people. My hats off to Tulkus and Rimpoche and 3 prostations. While factories produce goods, monastries try to produce enlightened mind.....greatest gift of humankind. And there is no place like Nepal to build monastry.
