A large focus of Tibetan culture and community is centered around community prayers and gatherings. The Dekyi Ling Community hall was funded by Samten Tse Charitable Society (STCS) and built as a place for those living within the Tibetan refugee settlement, to have the facilities for gathering together to perform prayers or hold community meetings. This enables the strengthening of the community and provides a safe and sheltered environment that can be used for various purposes.
