We'd like to let everyone know that we've received an official letter of thanks from the monks at Rumtek Shedra. One of the many things that Bodhi Seeds does for the Rumtek monastic community is provide them with clothing and a modest allowance. Please read their letter of thanks below. Thank you all for your ongoing support. Your contributions, large or small, makes a real difference in the lives of others :).

It is said that “true giving is true receiving.” When we give genuinely to support the basic needs of impoverished children, provide education that will open doors to fresh starts and new opportunities, make medical care accessible to the sick and elderly-this indeed is the very best gift we can to give ourselves.

A gift in any amount can make a great difference in the lives of many people. Even a small donation will contribute toward the health and well-being of those who earnestly seek a means to fulfill their basic human potential.

Bodhi Seeds provides such opportunities by dedicating its resources to the support of monastics, students, and the elderly in the Himalayan regions of India, Nepal, and Bhutan.

It is only possible to accomplish these goals through your generosity and active interest. I would like to request your kind support of our efforts to relieve some of our world’s most fundamental sources of suffering. Through our mutual intention, may the pain of illness be relieved and may education open all eyes to the genuine wisdom world.

Thank you in advance for your gift.

Please contact Bodhi Seeds staff in your area to join us in this profound enterprise to overcome our world’s suffering.

With appreciation,
Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche
