For centuries, Tibetan masters and monks have sought refuge in sacred lands as places to divine messages from ancient sources to seek enlightenment and administer blessings for countless souls in a weary world. Monk sponsorship is a very powerful way to express our gratitude to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who are continuously working for our benefit. Supporting the monks in these times sends tremendous blessings to a very weary world. To support the monastic community is to plant seeds of enlightenment for countless beings. In the shop, we are also selling prints of digitally altered photographs taken of the monastery, the monks and the surrounding valley. We call these prints ”Blessed Energy Art”. Upon purchase, the monks make a blessing in the name of the purchaser. The purchaser then receives a numbered Certificate of Authenticity, confirming the blessing, and 100% of the profits of the print sale is given to the monks. The purchaser has the option of having his or her name appear on the site as gratitude for their support. To encourage supporting the monks, with each print you a prayer will be made from the Rigon Tashi Choeling – Nepal Monastery on your behalf. Additionally you will be given a “Certificate of Authenticity” to confirm the prayer is being made and the donation you are making is going to the monks in Nepal.
