Emaho Foundation

Welcome to Emaho Foundation

The Sanskrit word emaho (pronounced ay-mah-ho) is an expression of joy and wonder, and an invocation for auspiciousness.

Based in Phoenix, Arizona, Emaho Foundation is a Tibetan Buddhist center serving the greater Phoenix area. Founded in 2001 by ZaChoeje Rinpoche, Emaho is dedicated to sharing Tibetan culture in the West, supporting humanitarian projects worldwide, and assisting with personal spiritual development.

2025 Summer teaching 25 Join us in person or via Zoom from 10:00AM to 4:00PM AZ Phoenix time for a one-day workshop with ZaChoeje Rinpoche on the stages of meditation.

During this workshop, Rinpoche will teach the in depth meaning of the Stages of Meditation. According to the Tibetan Yogic tradition, there are three stages of meditation: Zhugpa (Focus), Neypa (Sustain), and Thimpa (Absorb).

Our conceptual mind frequently fluctuates between attention and distraction.Thoughts pop in and out of our minds and we rarely perceive an object the way it is, always wrapping it in an additional layer of our memories and projections. By learning and understanding these stages of meditation, it will help one train the mind to focus and sustain the attention. Later on, we can use meditation to absorb the pure experience into our deep consciousness level.

Guru Yoga Tsok 7:00PM AZ time with Geshe Namgyal

The Tsok offering puja is a traditional Tibetan Buddhist ceremony involving offerings of flowers, food, and drink to the Buddhas, the Bodhisattvas, and our spiritual Gurus in conjunction with prayers, chanting, and meditation. During the ceremony, we accumulate merit, purify negativity, and give and receive blessings.

Prayers earthquake

RInpoche Book Guru yoga is a powerful and profound practice for connecting with your lineage, your teacher, and your own inmost nature. In this handbook, Rinpoche offers instructions for this “ear-whispered” tradition.

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.
