Dear Sangha and Friends of Ligmincha,

During this year’s summer retreat with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, we are holding the Ligmincha Summer Auction, an opportunity to come together in support of our practice community and the preservation of the precious Bön tradition.

We warmly invite you to contribute by donating Bön-related Dharma items for the auction by June 10. Suggested offerings include:

Sacred texts, statues or thangkas
Ritual items such as drums, bells, or malas in good condition
Artwork or shrine items
Handcrafted spiritual objects, or unique Tibetan cultural items
Services or experiences related to practice or wellness

This auction will support improvements to Serenity Ridge Retreat Center and, in particular, the Lama House (Rinpoche and our visiting lamas’ residence at the center). Proceeds will directly benefit Ligmincha’s ability to offer authentic teachings and practice opportunities in a supportive environment.
