Orgyen Kusum Lingpa to Help Reverse Decline of Vajrayana Buddhism
[NOTE: ORGYEN KUSUM LINGPA PASSED AWAY IN 2008 AND IT APPEARS THAT HIS FUNDRAISING EFFORTS DID NOT CONTINUE.]

The Fifth Dzogchen Rinpoche, Mingyur Namkhai Dorje, prophesied about Orgyen Kusum Lingpa:

An emanation of Vajrapani will appear in the year known as "guarding wealth"... He will blossom like a lily, and then unleash himself like a thunderstorm...He will guide all those connected with him to Sikhavati, The Realm of Bliss.

In response to directions given to him by Vajrapani, Orgyen Kusum Lingpa has constructed three stupas in the Ma Valley in the Province of Golok to pacify war, famine and disease, and to bring peace and prosperity to the world.

Recently, Vajrapani directed Rinpoche to build a reproduction of the Central Temple at Samye in order to reverse the decline of Vajrayana Buddhism.

Rinpoche plans to begin construction in March 2004, the Year of the Wood Monkey (in which every day has the same virtue and merit enhancing abilites of Guru Rinpoche Day).  We ask for your help with this project on behalf of all beings that will benefit from an upsurge of the Vajrayana.

All donations are gratefully accepted.  Please make checks out to Bay Area Vajrakilaya Center, with the notation "Samye Project" and send to:
