"First of all, I would like to felicitate and thank all the people who contributed to the establishment of The Sakya Foundation. The Foundation will be a great blessing for all those who have the will and the wish to learn more about the wisdom of the Sakyapa masters, who have contributed greatly to the rich Buddhist tradition practised and preserved in Tibet for the past many centuries."
"Although for the practice of Dharma, the two essential ingredients are a good teacher and committed disciples, in this ever-growing busy world the importance of a platform or format for like-minded peope who have faith in the Dharma to collect and confer cannot be sidelined. As the population with interest in the teachings of Buddha grows and the number of genuine teachers who can teach them falls short, a foundation like this is an oasis in the desert."
"Though the Sakyapa Tradition of Mahayana Buddhism has spread in Europe like all other places in the world, the pace has been somewhat lagging compared to other traditions. And it is here that I hope that this foundation will contribute and add impetus. A foundation like this could serve as a platform for all interested Dharma students to meet, study, and conduct collective Dharma activities. It would enable the study and dissemination of the wealth of knowledge that still lies unclaimed by by European followers due to a lack of well coordinated study and an absence of format for the extensive interpretation of the Buddha's Sutras and their Sakyapa commentaries in European languages. I hope that the Foundation will fill this absence and provide an ideal ground for all Sakyapa students in Europe and other parts of the globe to meet and discuss various issues and viewpoints on the teachings of the great Sakyapa masters."
"And thus I hope that the Foundation will create awareness and spread of the Dharma for the welfare of all sentient beings. My prayers and blessings will always be with the Foundation in this noble task and so will be my willingness to help and contribute to its good work."
