Recently there was some concern raised in regards to an effort undertaken to raise funds for the Xuanfa Institute and the Holy Vajrasana Temple by certain persons who attended a Meditation Retreat in Hong Kong led by Zhaxi Zhuoma Rinpoche. Because the kind student who was coordinating this effort had others send money to his personal account, some thought that this might have been a scam. It was not. The wechat notice was intended for a close group who knew and trusted this individual. However, the wechat notice went viral and many received it. This is not good as there are corrupt individuals who might use such a cause as a scam to obtain sincere individuals’ money for their own use. Also, I do not want good hearted persons to be defamed or unjustly accused of evils they did not commit. You should NOT send money to someone’s personal bank account. Anyone wanting to make donations to the Holy Vajrasana Temple may do so through the instructions given at http://holyvajrasana.org/donations-and-funding (English) or http://holyvajrasana.org/zh/%E6%8D%90%E5%8A%A9%E5%8F%8A%E7%B6%93%E8%B2%BB (Chinese). You should also be aware that the US customs does not allow anyone to bring more than US$10,000 into the country. I am very grateful to everyone who has been so kind in supporting our efforts to develop the holy site and enable everyone to visit the Holy Vajra Poles. We do depend on your donations. I just want to make sure your donations go where you intended them to go.
Most sincerely, Zhaxi Zhuoma
最近有人提出關注，對外面有人參加由扎西卓瑪仁波且在香港主領的閉關後，主動開展爲宣法會及金剛寶座寺籌集資金的努力。由於此善心的弟子呼籲人把錢存進他的私人帳戶，導至有人恐怕此事有詐騙之嫌。事實並非如此。微信上的信息本來是寄出給群内的人，他們都認識這個人。但後來此信息傳開了，許多其他人都收到了。這成爲了不好的現象，不法之徒有可能仿冒此做法而利用此名目進行詐騙，把善信的金錢來眾飽私囊。我也不想善良的人被誤信爲不法之徒或存著害人的意圖。你們不應該把錢存入他人的私人賬戶。要捐款到金剛寶座寺，請根據以下結連的說明進行：http://holyvajrasana.org/zh/%E6%8D%90%E5%8A%A9%E5%8F%8A%E7%B6%93%E8%B2%BB
你也要知道美國海關不允許任何人攜帶超過一萬元美金入境。感謝所有支持金剛寶座寺的善信，本寺依靠各方捐贈。我只是想確保大家的捐款去到目的地。
至誠的扎西卓瑪。
