Help us Build the Lha Bab
stupa at Crimo Village in Mon Tawan. India.--
Venerable Thubten Rinpoche from Gaden Jangtse Monastery, one of my elder Teachers requested me to help build a Stupa and raise funds to buy an ambulance in the Crimo Village of Mon Tawan. Rinpoche envisions that the total cost will be around $50, 000 and we need to finish building by the end of 2010.

There are about 10,000 people in the immediate
area of Crimo village, and if you extend across to Tawang and other
areas there would be more. The people of the village gave this land to Venerable Thubten
Rinpoche and he feels that it would be of the most benefit to build a stupa
here. This whole area used to be
Tibetan territory. It is located near the place where the 6th Dalai Lama was
born.
It is high up in the mountains and the nearest
clinic with basic medical supplies is in Tawang, several hours drive. If
somebody is acutely ill then the nearest hospital service would be
in Guwahati-- a 2-day drive. An ambulance
car containing life-support equipment and basic
medicines would help people through small problems or transport
them to an appropriate facility in an emergency. It could periodically
be re-supplied through the clinic in Tawang as
necessary.
The significance of the Lha Bab stupa is
that the next Future Buddha will come and see it and come to that place
and be on our earth. So we are making that stupa for the future dharma
connection. People can circumambulate the stupa. There are problems
with China contesting the border in that region and it will help stabilize
the area. People who flee from Tibet to the east will see it
as they come over the mountains. It will hold the 6th Dalai Lama's
blessing through his connection to that area. Tour groups can go there, and
through the pristine views of the Himalayas and the pure fresh elements
they can understand and experience the feeling of being in a Pure Land.
Fresh snows, clean water, barley, rice and corn grown without
pesticides, the mountain views and the clear air all serve to provide
inspiration that rests the mind. Those
who support this stupa will bring benefits for human beings, the earth and
world peace.
There is also room on this land
where facilities for caretakers can be built and an extra area
where modest tourist rooms can be planned for later.
We need to raise U$50, 000 .
