Support the Monks’ Education Fund and Honor His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s 86th birthday!The Tashi Lhunpo Foundation believes that helping those in need is a great way to build world awareness. One simple and noble way to achieve this is to help in our effort to provide funds for the education of young monks at Tashi Lhunpo Monastery. We invite you to help educate 108 struggling young monks. Please consider donating $108 and receive a sacred mala prayer bead, a gift from us for your generosity. Why 108? The number 108 is considered sacred in Buddhism, yogic and other traditions. Each mala comes in a string of 108 and are used for devotional meditation and prayer. This number also connects the Sun, Moon and Earth. The average distance of the Sun and the Moon to Earth is 108 times their respective diameters. In yoga, 108 Sun Salutations are often practiced to honor change. For example, to bring peace, respect and understanding at a time of tragedy or to honor the change of seasons. Yes, building world awareness could seem like a daunting aspiration. However, the Tashi Lhunpo Foundation is dedicated to achieving this aspiration because we know we can count on your support. All malas are personally selected by Khen Rinpoche and blessed by the Dalai Lama. The monks of Tashi Lhunpo Monastery dedicate their lives in prayer and good deeds in order to help transform the energy of the world to that of goodness, kindness and compassion in the spirit of common humanity. They need our support in order to support us. Click here to make your $108 donation via PayPal or send a check to: Tashi Lhunpo Foundation, P. O. Box 2911, Sunnyvale, CA 94087, USA. Your $108 donation is a tax-deductible contribution for the monk education fund and we will send a set of mala beads to you in appreciation. If you live outside of the US, please add $15 dollars to cover the cost of shipping and handling of your mala beads. Please address any questions to joji@tashilhunpofoundation.org Here’s wishing you an infinity of 108 gratitudes!
