accounts.						In collaboration withD rubdra Khenpo
						Tsultrim Tenzin ofTriten Norbutse
						Monastery, Nepal, we released an all-new
						translation ofShort Practice ofthe
						Threefold Active Contemplation from
						Magyud.
						In keeping with our mission to help
						sentient beings, this year we published		a
						new translation ofa Bon Divination
						Manual which is easy to use, containing
						clear instructions.
						This year we translated several short
						prayers and invocations, all ofwhich are
						available tothe general public gratis via
						our social media platforms as well as FPYB
						website. These include prayers to the
						great 20'" century master Shardza
						Rinpoche, a new translation ofthe
						invocation toTaphiritsa, a central figure		in
						our tradition, and a prayer to33"Menri
						Tridzin Lungtog Tenpai Nyima Rinpoche,
						the late Head ofYungdrung Bon.
						One way we seek to preserve the
						teachings and traditions ofYungdrung	Bon
						is by publishing Short Teachings by key
						teachers. These are published on a

					dedicated page in our Website, and also
					shared on our social media platforms. This
					year, we shared a specially-recorded short
					teaching given by the supremelineage
					holder Yongdzin LoponTenzin Namdak
					Rinpoche, given to 2ofour Founding
					Members during a short visit to Nepal.
					In November/December this year, we
					were able toonce again host Drubdra
					Khenpo Tsultrim Tenzin ofTriten Norbutse
					Bonpo Monastery. During this visit, we
					worked intensely on the final stages of
					Tummo: Practice ofSelf-Blazing Blissful
					Wisdom from the Compassionate Sun of
					the Mother Tantro, taking several photos
					and finalising illustrations etc.
					In response to requests we had received
					from the public, we made 2short videos of
					Drubdra Khenpo chanting prayers that are
					key to our tradition. This is very important
					to our purpose ofpreserving the teachings
					ofYungdrung Bon as Drubdra Khenpo,
					Abbot ofthe Meditation School at Triten
					Norbutse Bonpo Monastery, was Chant
					Master at the Monastery for several years.
					Ne also recorded one video in which he
					clearly shows the mudras. This isofgreat
					benefit tothose who are not able to travel
					to receive instructions in person, as all
					these videos are freely available to the
					general public.
					While in Kathmandu, our Director Dmitry
					Ermakov negotiated the reprinting of2
					FPYBtitles for the local market.
					M/e joined 4on-line schemes for Charities:
					GoFundMe, Paypal Giving Fund, Amazon
					Smile, and Gift Aid. We are already seeing
					income from these.
					At the beginning ofthis year, we
					transcribed, edited and published a short
					lecture given by the Meditation Master in
					Triten Norbutse, Kathmandu. All proceeds
					from sales are donated directly tothe
					monastery building fund.
