Words from members of the Noble Heart Circle
“As a longtime grief counselor, I know how important it is to make your wishes known, not only for how you want your end of life to be, but also, what you want to leave for others, and what you want your legacy to be. For me, I wanted to leave something for Nalandabodhi, which has been so important to me in my personal growth. To that end, my will directs my estate to leave a percentage of my monetary assets (after payment of expenses), to Nalandabodhi. Doing this has given me great comfort, knowing that I will continue to contribute to Nalandabodhi after my death.”
“In 2014 while packing to go to Nepal for Khenpo Rinpoche’s birthday celebration, I read this quote from Ray Charles: ‘Live each day as if it’s your last….one day you are going to be right.’ Wow, I thought, my will is out of date. What can I do that’s quick and easy? We had taken out whole life insurance policies when our daughter Anna was born. The family doesn’t really need that money now. So, a phone call, email form and walk to our neighborhood notary and I was ready. I travelled knowing that my heart’s deepest longing, to honor and support the three jewels, could at least have some money to go with my aspirations. That life insurance policy is divided between Marpa Foundation (KTGR) and Nalandabodhi. No fuss, no lawyer, no big deal. Some day it will go directly, outside my estate, to what is most important in my life. So easy; I can relax."
"I am a long-time student of our dear teacher, Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche, so granting a quarter of my assets to Nalandabodhi makes perfect sense. Do know my partner, who is a longtime student of Venerable Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche, is doing the same. What better way to benefit others, at the end of one's life when the Guru takes the supreme place at the top of your head, than to recognize the great aspiration of melding absolute and relative bodhicitta.”
