The boldness of the support and vision fostered by the GenX Buddhist Teachers Sangha gatherings helped Lama Rod Owens and I make the decision to create Bhumisparsha in 2017 while at the gathering in Crestone. Since then, especially during the COVID pandemic, we have been able to provide vital support and creative turning of the dharma wheel for hundreds of people around the world when it was most needed in ways that are restorative, healing, and uniquely empowering. –Lama Justin von Bujdoss, Vajrayana
