Thank you!

Following an incredibly generous response from donors in Australia and internationally, Namgyal Gar North ChNN 2014 Retreat sponsorship has now closed.

"May all beings as infinite as space have joy and happiness"

In total $36,460 was raised in a very short time. Thank you! This is well over half way to meeting the full budgeted cost of the retreat of $60,000.

Sponsorship Update

A little over a week after the call for sponsorship went live, nine local and international members of the Dzogchen Community have sponsored $9,880 toward our goal.

Thank you to our generous sponsors thus far!

Apart from the Vajra Dance and Yantra Yoga events associated with the tour, the full budgeted amount for the ChNN retreat is $60,000. 

In order to move ahead with the registration process, sponsorship closes Sunday 20th July.  If we don't reach our total sponsorship goal by that date, the collected amount will be applied to provide a reduced fee for all attendees.

Chögyal Namkhai Norbu on Generosity

An excerpt from Chögyal Namkhai Norbu 'On the Virtues of Generosity and Donors'

The Gift of the Teaching

The supreme generosity is the gift of the sacred teaching for saving sentient beings from the great ocean of suffering. Of course the highest generosity is the “gift of the teaching”, when teachers who are able to directly teach the path of liberation perfectly transmit the sacred Dharma to other beings voluntarily taking care to benefit them. Nevertheless, if one does not have this capacity, even bringing about with pure intention the favorable conditions for teachers to transmit the Dharma, or helping in various ways, directly or indirectly, so that unfortunate beings who lack the favorable conditions for receiving the Dharma may obtain the possibility of receiving it, are extraordinary “gifts of the teaching”.
