Please check the web site to understand how Tashi Lhungpo monastery perceives it's own needs. There is a message from His Holiness Dalai Lama supporting all efforts to construct physical facilities for this poorest of all the monasteries rebuilding itself physically and spiritually after the move out of Tibet.
the web site is Tashilhungpo.org
Our efforts here in Tulsa,Oklahoma unite us behind all the efforts to help Tibetan culture not just to survive but to re-establish its peak expression of Compassion and Rime reconciliation of religious differences. Explore "Rime" with web searches....to see how fundamentalism and liberalism in religion can find strong common ground. This is only one example of how the whole world can observe and benefit from the riches of Tibetan culture.
Do you often wonder, why are we interested in preserving threatened nations, peoples and cultures? Tibetan culture? It is because without each other, without the fulfillment of all others...we are not complete. The experience of enlightenment is a vast incomprehensible array of rich, complex, active, powerful and vibrant qualities that we all long for in daily life. Anywhere we find goodness, it should be nourished and preserved. Strengthened. Tashi Lhungpo monastery is such a place where enlightenment is a "focus." From here comes more strength to nourish us all. Tibetan Buddhism is Mahayana Buddhism: "For the sake of others, longing to attain complete enlightenment."
