Generosity as a Practice

many ways to offer support

Tibetan Buddhist Rimé Institute is a tax-exempt organization in Australia. We are a completely volunteer run organization.  Each year, donations support our vital work to bring awareness and of Kalachakra, the Bodhisattva Sciences and the Rimé philosophy to the world. There are a number of ways for individuals to support Tibetan Buddhist Rimé Institute and its mission.

Your generosity will help us to maintain our volunteers, our temple, develop educational programs, and build the Land of Shambhala retreat center.  Generosity is the foundation of the Bodhisattva path.  When you give to Rime Institute you help give the gift of Dharma the one true medicine for the suffering of sentient beings. May the merits from your act of generosity become the cause for the golden age of peace and harmony to arise. 

Give Your skills, love and Time


One of the best ways to learn how to practice in your life is to offer your skills or time. You can volunteer by offering your service to benefit all sentient beings. This helps you develop skillful means to see that any activity can be a Dharma offering when done with the right intention. When we work on projects together with loving kindness and gratitude for each other we are able to do things so much bigger than our own ability.

Give your material assets and money

Money is not holy or un holy, just neutral. How people use it or what the purpose makes money holy or un holy or very bad. It depends on the purpose; not the money itself.   When you have money, you need to develop the discriminating wisdom of how to use it wisely. When you make an offering to Dharma activities your Merit and the Merit of those you make offerings to increases for the benefit of all beings. 
 

Temple Activities and Projects

The Tibetan Rime Buddhist Institute has many auspicious projects that we do to benefit all sentient beings. They can range from commissioning sacred objects and statues for the grounds, to supporting Khentrul Rinpoche in his book writing, to planning pilgrimage tours and developing curriculum. All of our teachers and workers are unpaid volunteers.  By donating to our Annual Fund you help support our growth and ability to be of benefit.

Land of Shambhala Retreat Center

The Rimé Institute purchased 40 acres of land in order to build a spiritual paradise for all types of people to experience the life changing qualities of the Kalachakra path.  Land of Shambhala will give sentient beings an opportunity to find harmony with our external environment, internal and enlightened reality. This is a space for people to authentically connect and be present in the world while living with greater vitality, love and purpose.  The center will offer a holistic program of Kalachakra medicine, yoga, philosophy, astrology and science.
