Emaho Foundation - Break the Bank: A Letter from Rinpoche

(A thank you letter from
Rinpoche for the generous
donations made to Break the Bank)

DEAR FRIENDS IN DHARMA, TASHI DELEK!

Greetings from Drepung Monastery in South India. I hope you all are happy and healthy and looking forward to the holidays ahead.

I am extremely pleased to share with you that the Emaho "Break The Bank" event has been a resounding success. You broke the bank of $8,000 matching funds, surpassing our expectations. Donations came from our Phoenix sangha, Yakima and New Zealand sanghas and friends in Asia.

Your kind donations have helped us with costs associated with getting settled in the new location and with bringing our bronze Buddhas and brocade wall hangings from Nepal.

I have been busy with my book promotion in Japan and receiving some rare Dharma transmission teachings from my Master in India. I am looking forward to coming back for our popular and fun Fall Festival November 21st. In the morning, we open the center for animals to come to get blessings. This is an annual event I look forward to, meeting the animals with whom you share your life. The evening Fall Festival is an opportunity for us to get together and celebrate, seeing old friends and meeting new ones.

On December 6th in the morning Geshe Choephel and I will do the consecration ceremony. During this ceremony we will perform the ritual for fulfilling mantra inside Buddha statues and bringing the sacred power to receive the blessing from the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.

You are welcome to join this sacred ritual ceremony followed by a community pot luck brunch that morning.

Once again I appreciate your kind support and I send you all many blessings.

Regards and love,

Rinpoche

New Year message from Rinpoche.

Tashi Delek Dear Dharma students and friends. I read a beautiful message recently by the author T.S.Eliot.

‘For last year’s words belong to last year’s language.

And next year’s words await another voice.’

I want to send my heartfelt thoughts and blessings as we come to the end of 2020, a worrisome pandemic year. I wish you and your loved ones happy and healthy. Please take extra steps to stay safe.

In April of this year, I started “Wednesday’s with Rinpoche”, sharing with the global Facebook community tools and techniques to develop and sustain inner strength. Each Wednesday, I’ve focused on aspects of how we can build inner strength to live happier more peacefully in the face of great difficulty. Each week many of you have asked questions generating good dharma discussions.

As we learned how to navigate live-streaming, we have been keeping in touch by offering programs via Zoom.

2021 is considered by Tibetan astrology as the year of the Iron Ox a fitting symbol of perseverance, energy, honesty and positivity. The Iron Ox is associated with carefulness, loyalty and effort. In 2021 I am looking to offer an in-depth series and life-stream workshops as we continue with stay-at-home while the world begins to heal from the pandemic.

From January 2021 through May of 2021 we will be establishing a matching funds campaign for funds to build a new Za Pang Thang nunnery. The old nunnery was closed this year when a main supporting wall crumbled and collapsed, making the nunnery unsafe and impossible to repair. I am thinking to launch this project mid-January and run through May when the building season resumes.

As we come to the end of this challenging year, we are moving into an encouraging New Year. If vaccine efforts worldwide go as planned, I hope we can emerge safely from our isolation.

I keep you and yours in my daily prayers. I look forward to easier days in 2021 with wishes I can see you in person, that our doors will open and we can join together as a spiritual family and dharma community.

Happy New Year!

Blessings

Zachoeje Rinpoche

Tibetan Water Project Summer 2018

In 2017 Emaho embarked on a regional water project to test the safety of the water in Rinpoche's Tehor region of Eastern Tibet. This year, 2018, we conducted another series of tests, making comparisons. ZaChoeje Rinpoche is looking at implementing green technologies that will allow critical development that does not adversly affect the unique Tibetan landscape, its people, and its culture.
