Thank You for Supporting Ligmincha

Please Consider Year-End Donation

Prayer flags and stupa at Serenity RidgeDear Sangha and Friends,

This year, we have all seen images in the news of the great suffering many around the world are experiencing. How very fortunate we are to have come into contact with the precious Bon teachings and teachers who so generously share their wisdom and knowledge so that we may connect with our inner wholeness beyond suffering, and with compassion for ourselves and others.

This year has been a testament to the resilience and strength of our community. Despite the challenges posed by the ongoing global situation, we continue to adapt and evolve, ensuring that the teachings of Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche and Tibetan Bon Buddhism remain accessible to all who seek them.

Thanks to the support of our wonderful donors and volunteers, we continue to enhance and expand our in-person and online retreats, courses, and practice materials. We also work to preserve and translate the rich tradition of Bon with new courses and books on a variety of topics. These projects allow individuals in many countries and speaking many languages to partake in the journey of self-transformation that is meditation.

I would like to express my deep gratitude to all those who have supported Ligmincha International either financially or through volunteer work. Your generosity and dedication play a pivotal role in our ability to share the transformative teachings of Bon, impacting lives around the world. As we approach the end of this year, we invite you to consider a year-end donation to Ligmincha International. Your support, no matter the size, helps enable us to:

• Enhance and expand our online platform to reach more individuals seeking teachings outside of a retreat setting. In 2024 we will focus on migrating to a new and improved course platform, and we are developing several new courses for 2024 and 2025.
• Provide scholarships for those facing financial constraints, ensuring inclusivity and accessibility for all. In 2023 we were able to offer several hundred people free access to online teachings and reduced fees to dozens more. One dozen people received financial support to attend in-person retreats at Serenity Ridge.
• Maintain and support Serenity Ridge Retreat Center, the headquarters of Ligmincha International, creating more opportunities for deepening one's practice in a serene and supportive environment.

Together, we can continue to change the world, one person at a time, with the power of the ancient wisdom of Bon. Your generosity will help foster inner peace, resilience, and compassion in a world that greatly needs it. As we say at the end of each practice session: In liberating our own being, may we benefit others.
