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.

Za Pangthang Nunnery Project
Tashi Delek from the Za PANGTHANG nuns in Tehor, Tibet.
It’s common for the Tehor region to experience internet and primary power outages. We are waiting to receive new video updates. We do know the weather in Tehor is unusually warm for this time of year. The ground has softened, and work resumes on the nunnery. As travel conditions become more favourable, volunteers from surrounding communities have been steadily arriving to help.
In their last email, the nuns sent their gratitude and told us they include each of us in their daily prayers.
To date, friends, supporters, well wishes and Emaho Sangha members have donated $11,769.07 to the nunnery project. Each donation has been doubled for a total of $23,538.14. We still have 7 weeks to go where every cent donated will be doubled. 100% of your donations will be given to the nuns on your behalf.
The nunnery project is dear to many of us. While we help our Tibetan spiritual sisters by supporting their ability to get building materials, we are strengthening our connection to them, and the people of Tehor, Tibet. To those who have donated, Emaho! To those who will donate Emaho! Donating towards this project is a rare opportunity indeed. Om mani padme hum.

Temporary Closure
With our community's best interest at heart, Emaho will continue to suspend programs at the center until we are confident it is safe to meet again.
The Center is closed but Rinpoche is offering blessings online!
In addition, on Emaho's Facebook page, Rinpoche is currently offering weekly teachings to help us build inner strength through meditation.
We are also pleased to offer recordings of ZaChoeje Rinpoche's workshops and public talks, recorded since 2000:
We look forward to a fresh clean start and hope to see you soon. Until then, we send prayers for a swift resolution to this unexpected and horrendous disease that is circumnavigating the globe.
