Buddhist monks called Sangha are valued as one of the three jewels in Buddhism. Buddhist Sangha by heritage, is pursuing the truth, is the world’s most respectful and rare person. Especially is respected for the congregation. Sangha, we rely on his guidance to lead a positive Buddhist view and walk on the Buddhist path.
Since the Sangha dedicates themselves to practice Dharma and put all efforts to a considerable degree, they accordingly preach, earnestly teach us how to study Buddhism, Dharma. We, therefore, understand the meaning of life, the truth of the universe, our heart then open to the solution. From dropping the delusion, attachment to attaining what is comfortable and an eventual relief. So a big merit they offer us! How can we be ungrateful? How can we feel the gratefulness but not report it, not return it? Of course, the most direct method is to be a good student, pursuing the Dharma, make all Buddha happy. However, will any other methods are also practical, also benefit the Sangha?
Whether if we can build with designs an energy repair center, a meditation place especially for them to use? They can take this garden to retain their ability and wisdom. Also, disclose our minds to their treasure: Let them physically and mentally get secured, guarantee them a beautiful, functional world to restore and enhance their power… our profit at the end.
佛教中的佛法僧是我們佛弟子所皈依的三寶。 講到僧寶,佛法的傳承靠僧寶,所以僧寶列為三寶之一。他是奉行真理的人,是世間所最尊重和難得的,他是眾中尊。 皈依僧,我們依靠僧伽的引導而正信佛教。
由於僧寶自身的修行與努力,具備了相當的程度後,對我們講經開示,苦口婆心地教我們如何學佛,幫助我們了解佛法而在生活中能心開意解;進而轉化煩惱,放下妄想、執著而離苦得樂,得到究竟的自在。這麼樣大的功德叫我們怎麼不感恩?又怎麼能知恩不報? 當然最直接的報恩法是依教奉行,做一名好學生,使諸佛歡喜。然而另外的方法有沒有呢?同時也是具體受用的呢? 是否能建一所他們可以專門用來修憇、靜心的地方?藉這一個園地,使他們的法身與慧命加以保任。也披露我們對他們珍惜的心意:願他們身心安泰,沒有障礙而長久住世;而我們方能常隨佛學,修證大法有期。(吳述圃)

First, there are NO accidents or coincidences in the Universe.The prophecies of indigenous peoples for ages spoke about this time in our world and the conditions that exist on Mother Earth and the Sacred Elements (air, water, land resources, fires). I have received the message and ‘knowing’, that ‘Great Spirit’ is bringing messengers, healers, prophets and sacred medicine people together in ‘Divine appointments’.
People who would never meet in life. People who are on completely different paths and even in different parts of the world. So when a woman I’ve never met, came up to me at a community event and said, ‘I have a friend you must meet’ and proceeded to set this meeting with 100 miles between 2 people, from completely different ‘walks of life’, but respectfully on the same ‘heart path’, I knew it was by a Divine hand at work. Meeting Almanique is a ‘life changing’ sacred moment. I fully believe that Creator has gifted her, myself and others an ancient prophesied vision of bringing the ‘Rainbow Warrior’ tribe together for not only healing Humanity but our Earth Mother and the Sacred Elements. It is not whether we need this sacred place in Costa Rica, but it is our moral and human duty to ALL living beings, to fulfill and build this sacred place that ‘Global Tribal Sacred Peoples’ of ‘ancient ways’ have prophesied and prayed for in sweat lodges, vision quest, sun dances, pilgrimages and sacred ceremonies for hundreds and hundred of years.

To Whom It May Concern:
My name is Clan Mother Rachelle Figueroa and I’m the Founder and Executive Director of The Morning Star Foundation. We are a Native/Indigenous organization with a Mission Statement to support and protect all Indigenous Elders and Sacred Traditions, from all Nations. It is so very important at this time on Mother Earth, to bring together all the Wisdom Keepers of all Cultures and Traditions for the healing and Unity of our World. The prophecies of many Native/Indigenous Nations say this is the time to rebalance the leadership of our Countries and Nations and to work together in a peaceful manner to bring Peace back for our future generations. The Elders are the door to these teachings. This is a very important project for all humanity and all living things!!! I fully support Amanique Jacquet’s amazing Costa Rican “Center for the Elders of the World” !!!
