Those donating up to $99 will receive a book by Thrangu Rinpoche (they may choose The Three Vehicles of Buddhist Practice, Middle Way Meditation Instructions of Mipham Rinpoche, or Transcending Ego: Distinguishing Consciousness from Wisdom).
Those donating $ 100 or more will receive an original signed calligraphy by Thrangu Rinpoche done on rice paper (we have only 17 of these available).
Those donating $ 1,000 or more will receive a fully consecrated statue by Thrangu Rinpoche (with a life tree, precious substances and the mantra of the deity). The statues will be blessed when Thrangu Rinpoche gives his 10-day teaching on Mahamudra in late September.
