This fund provides students experiencing financial hardship to attend courses and retreats. At most times there is a list of students awaiting scholarships. Your donation will be greatly appreciated and put to good use! Know that Dharma Bodhi & Sahaja Dākinī also provide scholarships from there pocket for each course or retreat.

Dharma was given the mandate from both his Indian and Tibetan masters to commit the oral teachings he had received into written texts. Some of the topics to be covered in this series of books are – 12 Stage View Teachings, The Complete 11 Stage Process of Kundalinī, The Guerilla Handbook of Spiritual Practice, All My Relations – Working with Influence and Possession by Other Realm Beings in Dharma Practice, and more. He was also asked by his Dzogchen master, The 33^rd Menri Trizin – Lungtok Tenpa’i Nyima, to translate a series of Dzogchen texts from Tibetan into English. So far he has translated the first prayer book of preliminary practice titled The Precious Chariot, and is currently translating his second text in that series with a number of other texts in the queue awaiting translation.

Dharma Bodhi is in the phase of his life where he is giving back to humanity the liberating knowledge and practices he has been so generously and kindly given by his masters. He teaches, writes and practices full time now in order to serve the growing number of TMY students. Due to this he is no longer able to work as a chiropractor and Ayurvedic therapist to support his family and himself. Teachers associated with large Dharma institutions are often financially supported by those institutions and their patrons, who may or may not be practitioners. TMY is not affiliated with any large institution on purpose, in order to avoid difficulties inherent in those relationships, therefore TMY does not benefit from the deep funding these institutions have at their disposal. For this reason, Dharma and his family would be most grateful if any students of TMY, or friends of the Dharma who have the means would like to give their support by becoming Patrons of Dharma’s family. This was the traditional way to support the Dharma in ancient times. We thank you for your support.

TMY is establishing a Trust Fund, the dividends of which are to be used to sustain the workings of TMY and make all courses and retreats tuition-fee free. Donors may help establish this investment fund in two main ways:

•  Donate lump sums directly into the designated TMY Endowment account.

•  Designate TMY as the Beneficiary of your Estate.

At some point in their Path, dedicated practitioners may require the proper environment of solitude and stability to actualize the fruit of their path of practice. TMY is in the planning stages of creating a 1,000 acre hermitage in a rural mountainous area of Maine, where serious practitioners can take retreat for extended periods in a natural and undisturbed environment. This may be for a designated amount of time with the practitioner returning to society afterwards, or it may be their final retreat taking them into death. The facilities to be constructed are:

• Retreat Huts with kitchenette, composting toilet, water, wood burning stove

• Cave Retreats – bricked in with the same specs as the Retreat Huts, these will be hewn from the rock face of the mountain on the property

• Small industrial kitchen and dining area

• Small teaching Hall/Meditation Temple

• Small library

• Stupa designed and illustrated for Dharma Bodhi by 33^rd Menri Trizin Rinpoche

• Small Reliquary Building for the remains of the practitioners who practice into death at the hermitage
