The Benefit Screening of
FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL BEINGS !
in Prescott AZ on August 1st 2010
was a great success!
There were many cheers and tears at the one time only rough cut screening of the film. Over 400 people came from all over the world to share in this rare event with His Holiness Chetsang Rinpoche and His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche.
It was a very auspicious convergence celebrating the documentation of the life of this extraordinary holy being.
Thank you to all who attended and supported the film,
bringing us closer to our fundraising goals.

We are now in the final stretch of post-production on the documentary film about His Eminence Garchen Triptrul Rinpoche’s extraordinary life. There is still much work to do to finish the film and create the 100-hour DVD teaching archive and get both translated into Tibetan and Chinese. We truly need your help to finish in this last stretch for the documentary and teaching archive....
Once the money is raised to cover the costs of completing the documentary and teaching archive, then all the profits from the sales of the film will go to Garchen Rinpoche's endowment fund for his center in AZ, The Garchen Buddhist Institute.
This post-production phase requires the most help yet: director, producer, writer, editors, assistant editors, translators, musicians, accountant, graphic designer and web maintenance, archival footage, sound mix, dvd authoring, duplication, advertising, marketing, film festival entries, office rent, utilities and more.
