Mustang Bon Foundation

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.

Bon and the Buddhist great rDzogs Chen [Great Completion] Meditation traditions are being translated under the auspices of His Holiness Menri Trezin Dr. Daniel Brown and Geshe Sonam (a monk of the Bon tradition born in Nepal and educated under His Holiness Menri Trezin at the Menri Monastery in India.) to translate together the 11 books of the Self-Arising Threefold Embodiment of Enlightenment by Shar rdza Bkra Shis rGyal mTshan. This collection contains the most advanced meditations commonly practiced by the cave and hermitage yogis. These advanced meditations that complete the path to enlightenment, have never before been shown or translated in the West. The foundation spent $120,000 having them translated and they are in the process of being finalized and then published. The foundation spent $30,000 educating 30 Nepalese children in their culture and language up from 26 in 2014. The Foundation provided $29,982 for a Tibetan memorial mounument called a Stupa for the Tibetan Monk Raha
