Mission Statement

1. To uphold, protect and preserve the Bön tradition; and in no way violate the teachings and practices by dilution and misrepresentation.

   The creation of the Sangha and its role, no different than any other family role, is to instill and ensure the proper cultural values and ethics. Therefore, this Sangha brings together those spiritual individuals who have a sincere, shared interest in learning, practicing and preserving the teachings and wisdom of Bön Buddhism.

2. This specific Sangha is especially dedicated to the efforts of H.E. Kundröl Namka Thinley Wangyal Rinpoche ("Rinpoche"), Geshe Murig Nyima Kunchap Rinpoche ("Geshe La") and Takla Tashi Lama ("Takla"). It is with their warmest wishes and earnest permission that this Sangha has the fortunate opportunity to bring Bön Buddhism to the communities of Long Island.

3. To help cultivate and propagate loving-kindness, peace, compassion and a higher spiritual way of living throughout this Sangha and our local and global communities. We, as Sangha members, are truth seekers of our own spiritual being in order to become whole, connected and reunited with all other kindred spirits.

In Bön,
