 Today I would like to make a personal appeal to all Chinese spiritual brothers and sisters, both inside as well as outside the People’s Republic of China , and especially to the followers of the Buddha. I do this as a Buddhist monk and a student of our most revered teacher, the Buddha. I have already made an appeal to the general Chinese community. Here I am appealing to you, my spiritual brothers and sisters, on an urgent humanitarian matter.
The Chinese and the Tibetan people share common spiritual heritage in Mahayana Buddhism. We worship the Buddha of Compassion – Guan Yin in the Chinese tradition and Chenrezig in Tibetan tradition – and cherish compassion for all suffering beings as one of the highest spiritual ideals. Furthermore, since Buddhism flourished in China before it came to Tibet from India , I have always viewed the Chinese Buddhists with the reverence due to senior spiritual brothers and sisters. |

 Since its founding in 2001 by Venerable Thupten Donyo, Gyuto Vajrayana Center has provided the teachings of the Buddha and practice of Tibetan Buddhism to all who visit the monastery.
In order to preserve the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, the Center invites highly qualified teachers and provides teachings on Sutra and Tantra. As well as teachings, the Center organizes initiations, empowerments, prayer ceremonies, funeral services, house blessings and purifications. We also reach out not only to the different schools of Tibetan Buddhism but also to Buddhist practitioners of every nationality. The Center intends reaching out into the local neighborhood and offering support to those in need. More information.
 We are happy to announce the launch of our new web site (GyutoProject.org) dedicated to building our new monastery in the San Francisco Bay Area. We'll have more photos and updates on our progress here. We have also added the ability to make donations online.
