Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Part I.1 and Part III.1Our Mission Pointing Out the Great Way Foundation (POGWF) brings Indo-Tibetan meditation and teachings to Western students and nurtures and supports the community of practitioners. In turn, POGWF provides support back to the indigenous communities and lineage teachers to help them to preserve and restore their culture and traditions. Historically, POGWF generally has not provided programming to achieve its mission. The majority of our objectives involve directing donor funds to other organizations, both in the U.S. and abroad, who implement the stated projects. Our translation projects are a notable exception. POGWF is an all-volunteer organization.

The objective of this foundation is to revitalize, and preserve the pointing out style of indo-tibetan buddhism and translate these teachings into a body of meditation and related spiritual practices that both preserves the heart of the original, indigenous teachings, while making these teachings accessible,understandable, and successfully implementable in the form of step-by-step meditation practice instructions, and their application of all aspects of daily living, that bring about authentic realizations for westerners along the path of indo-tibetan spiritual practice,

IRS990/Desc0As part of the Foundations mission it has funded translating one of the most important texts of the Bon Tradition of Indo-Tibetan Buddhism, namely the A Khrid system [A Practical Guide to the Final Attainment]. The Foundation, through Daniel Brown,Ph.D. obtained permission for translating this root text and its auto-commentary from His Holiness Menri Trizin, the spiritual leader of the Bon Tradition of Tibetan Buddhism and Head Abbott of Menri Monastery, Dolanji, India. The Foundation paid Dr. Daniel Brown for his time to translate the text and with permission of the Bon sect obtained a Nepalese scholar and Tibetan lama to work with Dr. Brown. As it was significantly cheaper to bring a Tibetan monk to the United States then to send a US Tibetan scholar to India, the Foundation funded travel for Geshe Sonam Gurang, a Nepalese native and practicing monk and former personal assistant to H.H. Menri Trizin, and expert in the Bon Tradition of Indo-Tibetan Buddhism, to share his knowledge in the United States.The Foundation continued its activities started in 2013 and has been active in its support of the Mustang Cultural and Educational Center established by Geshe Sonam Gurang in is home area of Mustang, Nepal. The local farmers in that area are struggling because the Kalicandaki River doesn't flow much into the region any longer. To assist with the survival of the farms most of the local children have been pulled out of school to work the dying farms. The Foundation paid for Dr. Brown to attend a dedication at the end of May for the water project. The project was completed with the help of Foundation funds in 2014. In exchange for supplying the irrigation the local farmers have agreed to not pull their children from school, and allow them to attend boarding school in Jomson. The Foundation helped sponsor 26 children in 2014 three more than were sponsored in 2013. The Foundation provided floor rugs for the childrens comfort as well as adding windows and insulation so the children would not freeze in the dormitories during the Nepalese winter. The foundation sponsored a film to show the revitalization of the area and to act as a sequel to the previous documentary made called "Bon: From Mustang to Menri." This area of Mustang was historically a strong Tibetan Bon area, but since having become annexed as part of Nepal the local Tibetan people rarely learn their own Tibetan language, history and culture or religious practices, and the unbroken transmission of indigenous Tibetan meditation teachings from generation-to-generation form over 2,000 years is at risk of extinction in this generation. In addition to receiving a sound general education, these children will all learn their indigenous Tibetan language history and culture. Our hope is to sustain Tibetan culture in this geographic area by rebooting Tibetan culture for the younger generation. In addition, the Foundation funded the building of a Cultural Center so that the traditional Tibetan weaving, boot making, and thanka painting arts can be passed down to the younger generation. Lastly, the last surviving Bon monastery and temple in this area was looted and destroyed some time ago. Geshe Sonam Gurang was sent to Menri Monastery at the age of 9 to train as a monk. He completed his 14-year Geshe degree there, and now in his early 40s he has returned to the Mustang area to bring Bon Tibetan practices back to his people. This cultural center being built in Pingling Village in Mustang area of Nepal is part of the mission of the Foundation to assist the indigenous people who are supplying the West with their spiritual traditions. Dr. Brown led a group of 10 Westerners to the Nepalese village of Pingling in the Mustang Province of Nepal in May/ June of 2014. The Westerners interacted with 26 Tibetan children living in Nepal who are educated by the foundation. The Foundation members and others who attended were able to receive the gratitude of the villagers who saw their culture being re
