Many of you have written to find out how you can help the survivors of the terrible earthquake which destroyed the city of Jyekundo (Yushu) in Eastern Tibet Tuesday morning. The epicenter of this earthquake was actually in Rima, Ayang Rinpoche’s birthplace village and location of Ayang Monastery, as well as the new Amitabha Foundation-sponsored clinic and boarding school.

Dear all,

I have joined Yogi Lama Choekyi Wango to attend the Drubchen on 1st Apr for a short visit and had took some photos and videos.

• Photos on FaceBook
• Video on YouTube

We have discussed with Lama Tsewang Tharchen, brother of Ayang Rinpoche, about the fund-raising. This year seems to be in a rush and we cannot find sufficient sponsorships. He said he will give us a detailed breakdown of the cost incurred for the Drubchen so that in future we will have more time and information to find sponsors for the Drubchen. There are many many old laypeople from the local community to join the Drubchen. Lama Tsewang said the monastery also arranged car to go to different area to pick them up. Moreover, meals and tea will be offered to all attendants.

There are still lots of photos taken, but file size are large, I can’t upload all to you. If anyone need it for website/blog/other promotion material, please let me know and I will send by separate email.

best regards,
Grace

Dear All,

I send my heartfelt sympathy and condolence to the victims and families who have been severely affected by the strong  earthquake that shook Jeykudo – Yushu of Qinghai province on April 14th 2010.

The Amitabha Foundation and the monks of our monastery shall hold a special prayer service for all those who lost their precious life and the many thousands injured. May the people of Jeykudo overcome from the aftermaths and swiftly return to normal life.

H.E Choeje Ayang Rinpoche

This year Venerable Ontul Rinpoche will be leading the Guru Rinpoche Drubchen at Ayang Rinpoche’s Dechen Choeku Ling Monastery in Mundgod. 

Participants at the monastery and world-wide will be accumulating 1 billion Vajra Guru mantras beginning March 30, 2010.  Mantra accumulation will take at least 10 days and will continue longer, as necessary to finish 1 billion. 

Many lamas have said that by contributing mantras to such a great activity, participants gain as much merit as if they did the entire billion mantras themselves. 

Ayang Rinpoche requests: This is a great opportunity.  Please, everybody join and recite mantras as much as you can.

The Vajra Guru mantra is OM AH HUNG BENZA GURU PEMA SIDDHI HUNG. 

Report the mantras you have accumulated every day or every few days on the amitabhafoundation.us website or by sending them to NY@amitabhafoundation.us or amitabhafoundation@gmail.com.
 
You may also support the Drubchen by making an online donation at amitabhafoundation.us. You may make an offering in any amount in the name of anyone living or dead, or just to benefit all sentient beings. 

Dear All,

Here are the latest photos from the Bodhgaya project taken this morning. Hope you like them.

Greetings and best wishes from Bodhgaya.
