"As far as your personal requirements are concerned, the ideal is to have fewer involvements, fewer obligations, and fewer affairs, business or whatever. However, so far as the interest of the larger community is concerned, you must have as many involvements as possible and as many activities as possible."

- Quote from 'The Path to Tranquility: Daily Wisdom"

Supporting Cultural Traditions & Bringing Community Together to Celebrate Tibetan Heritage

The annual Shambala Ecumenical Prayer Festival for World Peace was established by Hung Kar Dorje Rinpoche in 2004. Every year, renowned Lamas from all the dharma traditions of Tibet, along with thousands of others, are invited to participate in this five-day event dedicated to the welfare of all living creatures in Tibet and on the planet.

Updates On Our Activities In America: CULTURAL EXCHANGE PROGRAM

BVF is pleased to announce that it plans on beginning a cultural exchange program. We are planning to send 6 students from Golok to The University of Kansas (KU) to take courses in ESL, Education, and Computer Sciences for the 6 months beginning in the fall semester 2009.

As part of that exchange the Tibetans will take part in a KU Golok State Study Group. We are hoping to send 3 or 4 faculty members to Golok State to help develop The Hungkar Dorje Regional Multi-Disciplinary Technical School.

As a part of the exchange, KU staff will work in Tibet to promote preservation of traditional thangka art. KU staff will also evaluate the possibility of developing ecologically based small businesses to stimulate economic self sufficiency in Golok.
