When we revisit this site, be certain to click a couple which explains a Nyingma Mandala. You will be introduced to a worldwide classification with a list of tangible accomplishments which indeed defies any superlatives I could muster. These folks dedicated their lives to you. Don't we consider it is time to give something back?
(2) Lotsawa House. In a universe where would-be "lotsawas" have been busy hustling for a buck, as well as fighting over emptiness, a humorously-named "Wu Tai Shan Clan" has been embracing a foundation of all perfections, as well as openly giving their work away. This is a organisation of a finest immature translators in a universe today, guided by Marpa's philosophy which a Dharma is ownerless. When we revisit their site as well as demeanour around, we will be treated to a feast of resources, as well as immeasurable richness. -- all for free. As their sign says, "Dharma. On a house."
(3) Nubri Monastery. It takes usually USD $30,000 a year to maintain a single of a world's last surviving beyul monasteries, in a remote Himalayan valley, though all of which income contingency come from a donations. The lay village which for over 500 years upheld a community has all though disappeared. Many termas ! still so journ to be discovered in a mountains around this valley, so can we do a part?
(4) Mahasiddha Org. This classification was founded to support Dodrupchen Rinpoche's activities a universe over. When we click this link, you'll be taken to a site where we can arrange for prayers as well as pujas to be achieved during participating monasteries as well as nunneries. If we do this upon a unchanging basis, we will quickly see a benefit. Dodrupchen Rinpoche is a direct, untainted Longchen Nyingthig origin holder, in an unbroken line to a good Jigme Lingpa.
(5) Monlam Org. Here is an additional popular prayer as well as puja resource, from a community as well as community underneath a organisation of Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche as well as Chokling Rinpoche. Both have been a sons of a late Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, as well as well established masters in their own right. All prayers have been achieved during Ka-Nying Shedrub Ling community in Kathmandu, Nepal; Nagi Gompa community upon Shivapuri Mountain; as well as Asura Cave Temple during Pharping.

This year, a classification was eventually able to declare a eucharist of a visionary Zangdokpalri Temple in Assam, though assistance is urgently needed to connect decades worth of bid into a maintainable program.
(7) Tib! etan Aid Project. The largest such plan in available history -- their annual placement of dharma books can cover an complete football field, eight feet deep. To save lives is paramount, though to save an complete denunciation as well as enlightenment -- this requires extraordinary prophesy as well as effort. When we review this plan -- which began with nothing as well as currently defies outline -- we will see which utterly literally millions of books, images, as well as protocol implements have been given away. This plan is additionally linked with a Yeshe De Text Preservation effort, as well as a Adopt A Book program.
