| Similarly, while the villagers' offerings make up their main source of revenue, the monasteries have to cope with rising everyday expenses, especially when it comes to taking in the most destitute monks. Without proper funding, very many monks periodically are compelled to go out to work. During such times, they are unable to study and forget what they have learned. This predicament is obviously a major stumbling block to the activities of study, thought, and meditation, which are all important in the Buddhist tradition.That is why Kyabje Gosok Rinpoche has taken on himself the responsibility of finding benefactors for the monasteries he is in charge of, and sponsors for their monks. |

Based on the principles of genuine love and compassion applied to daily life, the most Venerable Kyabje Gosok Rinpoche's involvement aims at helping sentient beings attain real personal fulfillment. As long as the guiding impetus comes from selfless disinterest, help and mutual assistance will always be forthcoming, so that individual and collective problems are quickly cleared up. If human activity becomes useful and beneficial, then it follows that such activity can take on full meaning so that an excellent social set-up may come about.
In that way, in his teachings, Rinpoche always emphasizes the relevance of loving-kindness and compassion, which are the valuable qualities required for bringing about a lasting peace and happiness in the world. |
