Dear Precious Sangha and Generous Sponsors,
To preserve and perpetuate the authentic Dzogchen Buddha Path Lineage in this world, His Eminence Dzogchen Khenpo Choga Rinpoche, along with the precious international Dzogchen Buddha Path Sangha members, will conduct the Dzogchen Buddha Path Dharma Teacher Authorization and Enthronement Ceremony at the Dzogchen Retreat Center on the 15th and 16th of September, 2018. At this auspicious event, qualified noble Sangha members will be formally authorized as Dzogchen Buddha Path Dharma Teachers, namely Sangha Mitras, Dharma Acharyas, and Bodhi Lamas.

~ Donation Request ~
In order to achieve this glorious aspiration, we need your generous support. Any amount of offering will be greatly appreciated. If you would like to sponsor one complete set of offerings, please donate $1,200. Our goal is to raise $36,000. Please join us and support our Dzogchen Buddha Path Dharma Teachers.
~ Great Benefit ~
It is taught in the Sutras that even filling the whole universe with precious jewels as an offering to all Buddhas cannot compare with the virtuous karma created by properly teaching even a single stanza of Dharma because the only way to liberate sentient beings from suffering and samsara is by teaching Dharma. Thus, by supporting the Dharma teachings of the Dzogchen Buddha Path Dharma Teachers with your virtuous generosity, you will create vast good karma similar to the karma created by all these newly authorized Dharma Teachers through their Dharma teachings in this and future lives.
If you are unable to offer financial support, please rejoice and pray for the success of this glorious event and for our precious Dzogchen Buddha Path Dharma Teachers. Thank you for your loving support and participation.
