MESSAGE FROM TASHIGAR NORTE GAKYIL

​

Dear All, receive greetings from Tashigar Norte. As some of you know, we are celebrating our 20th anniversary of foundation. Most of us have a special place in our memories for what perhaps were the Wonder Years of our beloved Community, and related to these memories what Rinpoche used to call this place: A paradise. It is true that we have been going through difficult circumstances, but as always we were told, everything is impermanent and nothing lasts forever. So, despite these hard times, Tashigar Norte was and still is a paradise, a Sacred place consecrated for practice, a powerful energy spot, and as any other Gar of the IDC our home.

 

Venezuela is going through a recovery phase. Economy has been stabilized, there is no hyperinflation anymore, non regulations on prices, a better situation regarding security and little by little is being reintegrated to the world. International air lines are starting operations again, there are available flights from Russia, Turkey, France, Portugal, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Panama, Colombia, Peru and Bolivia, and according to authorities a bigger expansion on air routes due the reduction to the restrictions and sanctions the regime is under. All this can be translated as better circumstances to live and visit. There is no scarcity of goods and the country is recovering the sensation of being normal. The conjunction of this circumstances let us invite you to participate actively in the Preservation of this Sacred Place. There are many ways to do so, with the merits of your practice, with some particular donation, with a short visit, or even going further participating as a resident. 

 

We have available 7 properties to sell, 4 inside the Gar Village and 3 outside. Most of this properties were donated to Tashigar Norte Gakyil, and we have the expectation to find individual practitioners, group of practitioners, Gakyils or IDC entities that can engage with this initiative in order to contribute to keep Riponche’s vision for Tashigar Norte in the time. The properties are priced as a special offer for all our Vajra Family worldwide. Our interest is to bring back some energy to keep us moving. Especially the properties inside the Gar, because the Villagers of Tashigar Norte were, are and will be responsible to contribute with the 50 % of our yearly budget, so their support is crucial for Tashigar Norte Survival. For extra details please visit the page For Sale.

​

The properties located outside the Gar have a common property regime. It means it can be sold directly from owner to buyer. In order to do this, you need an investor visa (check requirements in the closest Venezuelan consular office). Once you have issued the visa, you need a special permission in order to buy property. There are some lawyers that facilitate all this process, you can receive additional information contacting our support team. Regarding the houses inside the Gar, they have a special regime of property. The house or lot owner possesses shares of an overall property, sharing the land with IDC assets. (A 30 acres farm) These shares allow an owner the exclusive use of a lot, and what is built on it for his private usages and can be inherited. It is mandatory to be a member of the IDC at least three years in a row. What you buy is the shares that give you the perpetual use of this land. The buyer will receive a property title issued by the owner association, and its shares will be placed in custody into the IDC legal figure in Venezuela until the proper documentation is processed. It is the same regime the current Villagers of Tashigar Norte are under. The main benefit to live inside the Gar will be to have a few steps from home, the proper places to practice, empowered by our Teacher and collective practice and relatively speaking, a secure environment, with all services including water, which is an issue in the island. 

 

All the revenues generated from these sales, will serve to create a maintenance fund for the Gar and investment fund to be applied on a project carefully structured, with a clear business blueprint that will have to be submitted to the local  Gakyil and approved by them together with PCTN Board, TN Advisors and International Gakyil opinion.

 

We hope some of you may be interested in this unique opportunity to invest in a beautiful property, in a very special location and with a specific mission we were trusted with. We can not end this message without express our gratitude to all our worldwide Community, but in a very special way to the Villagers of Tashigar Norte, without their constant financial support it would not be possible to persevere as we are doing it, so Robin Bennett, Berta Becerra, Delma Miralles, Valter Bianchinni, Michel Dubourdieu, Carmen Rivas, Igor Legati, Anna Pucci, Mark Farrington, Adriana Dal Borgo, Maria Angelica Gomez, Adriano Clemente, Prima Mai, Rosemary Friend, Douglas Uzcategui, Paola Civile, Raul Barattini, Dmitri Kalmikov, Olga Kalmikova, Gabriella Dalesio, Efrem Marder, Marith Cramer, Bodhi Krause, Stella Sangiorgi, Diane Campbell, Carissa O'kelly, James Smith, Steven Landsberg, Fanny Santos, Elias Capriles, Mayda Hocevar, Rolando Carrasco and Marina Kashkurova; thank you for keep believing that still is possible to keep going.
