We are often asked: Which of the Three Jewels is most important? From one view they are inseparable, yet the Dharma can be seen as the heart — the words of the Buddha and the guidance that shows us how to meditate, understand our minds, and cultivate wisdom and compassion.

Without texts, the path becomes unclear. With texts, it becomes steady, reliable, and accessible for us and for future generations. That is why Buddhist traditions treat scripture with such care and respect: offering a Dharma text means offering clarity, courage, and a genuine support for practice.

At Gomde, we do our best to create these texts beautifully and accurately — using good printers, the special paper Rinpoche prefers, and many hours of careful translation, editing, formatting, printing, and assembling.

Producing these texts brings real costs, both material and human. Your donation is not “buying a booklet” — it is helping preserve the Dharma and supporting those who cannot afford to contribute. It even allows us, at times, to share texts with other centers.

If you receive a text, or simply wish to support this work, we warmly invite your generosity. Your offering helps keep the teachings available, clear, and alive.

May the merit benefit your practice and all beings.
