Wencheng Gongzhu International Foundation Launched in Hong Kong
On December 1st, 2009, Wencheng Gongzhu International Foundation, a non-profit charitable organization, was officially launched in Hong Kong with a spectacular dinner event attended by 500 of the most influential people of the region. Wencheng Gonzhu (625 – 680 C.E.) was a Chinese Princess who introduced Buddhism to Tibet and devoted her life to the well-being of the people of the region. The organization created in her name follows the teachings and vision of H.E. Shyalpa Rinpoche and seeks to help all to achieve fulfilling and meaningful lives using the teachings and practices of the Buddha.
The evening began with a Black Hat Dance led by Drubchen Rinpoche and two senior monks from Shyalpa Monastery in Nepal. This sacred tea offering ceremony is designed to clear obstacles and destroy all delusionary evil spirits. The emcee for the evening, a well-known Hong Kong television actor, then introduced H.E. Shyalpa Rinpoche, who lit butter lamps on the shrines on either side of the stage in front of huge Lord Buddha and Guru Padmasambhava thangkas. Professional Tibetan dancers from India then entertained the audience with a series of traditional Tibetan dances, including highly entertaining yak and snow lion dances. These dances featured an animated yak and snow lion dancing amongst the crowd and amazing all with their acrobatic and amusing antics.
H.E. Shyalpa Rinpoche then came to the stage and delivered a powerful address on how to live a full, meaningful life. His Eminence explained the mission and vision of the Wencheng Gonzhu International Foundation after which all the guests had the opportunity to offer a white scarf to His Eminence and to receive blessings in person.
The evenings attendees included many top actor and actresses, well-known super models, famous writers, scholars, socialites, powerful businessmen, and professional athletes, including China's top-ranked golfer. In part due to this impressive roster of attendees, many journalists from Hong Kong newspapers came to cover the event. The launching of the foundation was a huge success and dozens of newspapers articles were published on the event the next day.
