The Office of the Third Dzogchen Rinpoche issued a statement today (May 11, 2012) in which one paragraph states that due to the negligence of a staff member who did not verify carefully and casually made a phone call for consultation, a major mistake was made. After the discovery, the director of the office and related personnel sincerely repent to the Third Dzogchen Rinpoche, all Buddhas and bodhisattvas, and all sentient beings.
The Office of the Third Dzogchen Rinpoche has been established for nearly four years and has conducted two fundraising campaigns, with an average of only over 1,300 US dollars each time. The total amount for the two campaigns is 2,750 US dollars. However, the staff member did not carefully verify and only included the amount of over 1,300 US dollars in the announcement, causing serious disruption in karmic consequences. The office now publicly explains and apologizes to the whole society, and deeply reflects and repents to the Third Dzogchen Rinpoche and all Buddhas and bodhisattvas.
