A Few Words of Thanks from the
Tibetan Cultural Center

The Kalachakra for World Peace 1999 was a great success. We deeply appreciate the generosity of His Holiness in coming to our Tibetan Cultural Center to give the Kalachakra Initiation. It has been especially wonderful to see so many people from all over the world participating in this momentous event. It has been a real pleasure to provide you with this opportunity to attend His Holiness' teachings and take the initiation.

A full report of our debits and credits for this great event will be published on this website in approximately 6 weeks. We will donate a portion of our proceeds to further the special projects of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. The remaining moneys will be spent to continue the mission of the Tibetan Cultural Center. Our mission is to educate the public about the history, culture, and future of Tibet, to support Tibetans in Tibet and in-exile, to preserve and transmit Tibetan culture, religion, and language, and to facilitate and support interfaith cooperation and dialogue among all people.

Once again, we wish to thank His Holiness the Dalai Lama for giving the Kalachakra teachings. We are also very grateful for the presence of the venerable head lamas of the four sacred traditions and Bon po who have taken the time, trouble, and effort to travel so far from their monasteries in India and Nepal to come to Bloomington, Indiana. We also wish to thank the abbot and monks of Namgyal Monastery for all of their efforts in performing the Kalachakra ceremonies. We want to thank our Advisory Board members for all of their support and our sponsors for their generous financial assistance. We want to give special mention to all the volunteers, the City of Bloomington, and the State Department who have worked so hard to make this event run smoothly and safely. We thank you very much. Finally, our heartfelt gratitude goes to all of you who have come to our center to support our endeavors to promote the cause of peace and harmony in the world.
