Letter from Ligmincha President Rob Patzig
Help Support Ligmincha International & 2025 Projects
Dear Sangha and Friends,
The Bon teachings, especially in the way Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche presents them, give us the tools that bring peace, joy and meaning in our lives. His unwavering dedication to preserve the Yungdrung Bon teachings for future generations and share them in ways that positively impact our world is the foundation of Ligmincha. Our mission is to teach how a kind mind, soft and open heart, and strong spirit can counter the stress, anxiety, insomnia, depression and troubles of our times.
This mission is only possible through the generous support of our global community. Your donations sustain retreat centers, support teachers and staff, develop programs, and implement technologies that help us reach more people. They also help us navigate the lasting effects of the covid era - rising costs, maintenance needs, and evolving community needs.
For the generosity of those who have given in the past, we offer our deepest gratitude and thanks!
In recent years, annual donations have dropped from $570,000 to under $200,000, limiting our ability to fulfill Rinpoche's vision. This year, we aim to raise $250,000 to continue to support and expand our work.
Our 2025 projects include:
- Improving support for retreat participants
- Creating a scholarship fund for broader access
- Expand online offerings
- Repairs and improvements at Serenity Ridge
- Expanded communications and outreach to support our diverse community
Thank you for considering a gift to support these projects and our shared journey of growth, connection and service. Learn more at Ligmincha.org/donate.
With gratitude,
Rob Patzig, President
