ROKPA is committed to help where humanitarian aid is particularly difficult, but nevertheless absolutely essential. ROKPA's work focuses primarily on education, medicine and nutrition / cost of living.
Teaching people to sustain themselves is ROKPA's major concern. They know that education is the most effective way to help poor people escape poverty and protect themselves from exploitation and abuse. That's why ROKPA prepares disadvantaged children and adults for a life they can take in hand with their training projects.
My Dharma/Charity organisation is not on the list? Click here.
I accept that my personal data will be sent UNIQUELY to the association beneficiary of the donation/sponsorship to try and obtain a tax return document.

Great experience
I ordered 2 statue consecration materials sets. The sets are wonderful and have all the basics you will need -very generous amounts and good quality too. The shipping was very fast, but tracking was not provided. The funny thing was, the day I requested shipping tracking info it arrived!! However I never received a reply to my info request. Other than that, this was a great experience!!

OFFERING RITUAL
It is very useful for your meditation to have a special room or space reserved for your practice. The main elements that often come into your meditation place are an altar, your meditation chair and a text table.
The altar is a special place that holds your sacred objects, images and texts that inspire your practice.
Bokar Rinpoche wrote that in order to reach the ultimate Enlightenment, it is necessary to assemble the two accumulations: merit and wisdom. The accumulation of merit is therefore of paramount importance because without it, no accumulation of wisdom would be possible. The two accumulations are interdependent and the accumulation of merit operates in the field of "means" while the accumulation of wisdom operates in the field of "knowledge".
As beginners, merit of accumulation is the easiest form of accumulation to work with and it allows us to progress quickly along the path. Offerings are a form of accumulation of merits.
The most common offerings are: the offering of saffron water and the seven offerings.
The water offerings consist of seven bowls to be filled (and emptied) each day with saffron water, following a certain ritual.
The seven offerings consist of :
- water (water is sometimes considered as two offerings: water used as a drink and water used as cleaning/purification)
- flowers
- incense
- light
- scented water
- food
- music
To learn more about the offering ritual and the set-up of the altar, see our Dharmateque.
