Ligmincha International's online fundraising auction, held during this auspicious 25th anniversary year, will help develop programs for the worldwide sangha.

We invite you to look through the quality practice and shrine-related items to inspire and deepen our practice, as well as jewelry, books and more. All items in auction will be blessed by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche.

Donations have being sought from sangha members and friends worldwide. Everyone's participation is an invaluable part of our fundraising efforts.

Proceeds from the auction will be used to support Ligmincha International’s mission of preserving the Bön teachings and making them accessible in various ways to people all over the world.

Specifically, the proceeds will be used in part to fund program development for new online courses taught by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche through Ligmincha Learning, each costing about $4,000 to create and produce. For example, an online Ngöndro (dzogchen preliminary practices) course will be available through Ligmincha Learning early in 2018. Also planned are a Sleep Yoga course and a new training program for Ligmincha practice leaders around the world.

Auction revenue also will provide initial capital for Ligmincha’s new Sacred Sky Press, which will translate and publish Yungdrung Bön works in English. The first book, Indestructible: The Longevity Practice of Lama Tséwang Rikdzin, translated and annotated by Raven Cypress Wood, became available in October. Sacred Sky Press intends to release three to four books each year that will benefit the entire Bön community. Depending on the size of the print run and the formatting, upfront cost of each publication can range from $2,000–$6,000. Capital is needed to fund the publications initially until proceeds are generated from the sale of the books.

Finally, some of the funds will be used for equipment in the new multipurpose building at Serenity Ridge, especially for kitchen and yoga studio. 

If you wish your donation to go torward a specific project (program development, Sacred sky press support, the new building equipment), please send an email with the project you chose, your name and item number to auction@ligmincha.org.
