the Ceremony reach remote areas throughout the Himalayan region, and are shared among all four of the major Tibetan Buddhist sects: Gelug, Kagyu, Nyingma and Sakya. The gift of these sacred texts not only brings together a displaced people; it revitalizes Tibet’s spiritual traditions, empowers women and promotes literacy.

The distribution of 1,000 complete sets of the Narthang Kangyur, direct teach-ings of the Buddha, and the Narthang

This year’s World Peace Ceremony took place from January 15 to 25 in Bodh Gaya, India. Eleven thousand Nyingma monks, the largest gathering of Nyingma lamas and monks ever re-corded, participated in the ceremony. Sacred texts poured into Bodh Gaya for weeks prior to the event in prepa-ration for the thousands of people that would gather at the site of the Buddha’s enlightenment to pray for world peace. The total number of books distributed was 400,000, our second largest ship-

ment ever. One senior monk remarked to a volunteer how expensive it was for him to travel with just one suitcase – he never would have imagined that so many books could be sent this way. Ti-betan Aid Project dedicates its efforts each year to providing more books for the ever-growing numbers who attend the ceremony, which has increased in size from 700 to over 10,000 in just twenty years.

A SmAll Portion of Gruel

Tangyur, commentaries by great Bud-dhist masters, made this year’s World Peace Ceremony a momentous and joyous occasion. The scarcity and high cost of these texts have in the past made it very difficult for Buddhist practitio-ners to acquire or study them. Even when a monastery does have a com-plete set of the Kangyur in its posses-sion, the books are so fragile that the students are rarely permitted to read them. But now, all this has changed.

“You couldn’t offer a better gift than a book for the next generation”

benevolent and powerful king who re-alizes that his good fortune has arisen from his generosity in a previous life. The Jātakamālā, a collection of sto-ries describing the Buddha’s past lives, forms a part of the Kangyur collection that was freely distributed at the World Peace Ceremony for the Tibetan people to study from, share with others and enjoy. s

Our gift of 1,000 complete sets of the Narthang Kangyur and Tangyur inspired thousands to attend the World Peace Ceremony.

“Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche does not just talk about his vision. He manifests it.”

spiritual movement which encouraged the study of comparative religion and philosophy.

Ms. Riskin, a writer-producer and psy-chologist, is a strong voice for interna-tional human rights and social justice. A founding member of the California Committee South of Human Rights Watch, she has received multiple awards for her impassioned advocacy. For years she has had a special place in her heart for the Tibetan people. “I always thought of Tibet as a romantic, protected place like in the movie Lost Horizon,” she said. “Then I learned of its brutal treatment and the destruc-tion of its temples and sacred writings. That was shocking to me.”

When she met Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche at the Nyingma Institute in 1972, she was impressed with his clear focus on preserving the culture of Ti-bet. “As time went on I could see he

victoria Riskin’s passion for human rights and openness to other cultures was inspired by her father, the son of Jewish im-migrants, and her movie-star mother. “My father was naturally sensitive to the struggles of the underdog,” she said. Robert Riskin became an Oscar-win-ning screenwriter whose concern for

social justice infused his work in such films as Meet John Doe, Mr. Deeds Goes to Town and Lost Horizon. Her mother, actress Fay Wray, had a keen interest in theosophy, a turn-of-the-century

was producing tangible results. He was restoring texts and artwork vital to the Tibetan heritage.” She also felt secure in choosing Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche’s organization “because of its low over-head and the commitment and conti-nuity of its staff.” Her goal was to pro-vide flexible, long-term support. Her strategy was to include a bequest in her living trust that would create a perma-nent endowment to support TAP and other Nyingma organization projects with the principal preserved and the income used to meet changing needs.

She sees the emphasis Tibetan culture places on equanimity and compassion as worth preserving, as a necessary counterbalance to the prevalent grasp-ing materialism. “I hope others consid-er a bequest. It’s a way to have a signifi-cant impact. Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche does not just talk about his vision. He manifests it. That’s amazing.” s

Writer-Producer VictoriA riSkin mAkeS A BequeSt

Monasteries and nunneries throughout the Himalayan region will have new, du-rable copies in their libraries, allowing for years of study and transmission to future generations.

Heather Gunther, a volunteer who helped to produce the books, recently returned from Bodh Gaya. She wrote in an email, “I have an especially memorable moment in mind: the very last person I distribut-ed books to, took every box, lifted it to his head and then put it into the tuk-tuk [motor rickshaw] - the whole time chant-ing mantra. He told me several times, ‘I am so grateful for these books.’”

As the Tibetan Aid Project touches lives and replenishes libraries across the Himalayas, our sister organizations are reinvigorating holy sites through-out India. Next December, the Light of Buddhadharma Foundation Inter-national will work in conjunction with Theravadin Buddhists from nine coun-tries to sponsor the sixth annual Inter-national Tipitaka Chanting Ceremony, also held in Bodh Gaya. LBDFI has sev-eral other projects underway, all aimed at beautifying the ancient and sacred places where the Buddha walked and taught. These projects and ceremo-nies are restoring and transforming

the physical and spiritual landscapes of Bodh Gaya and other holy places.

The Tibetan Aid Project celebrates forty years of service knowing that our free distribution of sacred texts has preserved the teachings that form the foundation of Tibetan culture. Wang-mo Gellek Dixey, who serves on our Board, attended this year’s ceremony. As she told the staff on her return, “You couldn’t offer a better gift than a book for the future generation.” The gesture of giving the gift of a book is as profound as it is simple: an offering of compassion and hope. s
