As you know, MY REINCARNATION has begun to spread the crucial story of our Masters – Chögyal Namkhai Norbu and Khyentse Yeshe – to wide audiences everywhere. We could not have done it without all your support! But after 20 years of working by hook or by crook, the production is still 100K away from making it out into the world and another 40-70K to having a theatrical tour with Khyentse Yeshe in the USA this fall 2011.
In the spirit of Rinpoche, himself, we are launched a new funding campaign – called Kickstarter – with amazing thank you incentives to bridge the funding gap! These include T-shirts, pre-release DVDs, one-of-a-kind artwork and a compilation of never-before-released teachings that I filmed with Rinpoche.
You can find out more about this – as well as information about how to become a Producer on the film – on our new Kickstarter page:

Please consider donating. But if you find yourself unable to make a monetary contribution, consider joining us as an Outreach Partner and help us spread the word about our Kickstarter campaign to your friends and people everywhere. Link your personal or community site to it. Tell other Buddhist, spiritual, and Tibetan cultural groups about it. Tweet it. Facebook it. Sing it from the mountaintops. We need you now more than ever!
And more news: Now, during Rinpoche’s visit to Melbourne, Sydney, we are having a fantastic “Sneak Preview Fundraising Screening” of the film on March 8th at the Novo Cinema, Melbourne! Rinpoche himself will be doing press for the exciting Australian film festival release. Come to our screening!
And as part of our MR campaign to keep giving back to the community, we are continuing our OUTTAKES FROM THE FILM (O.F.F.) web series. Click below to see this sweet, new funny, O.F.F. 4: “I was a terrible child!” (1989) – where Rinpoche talks about growing up in Tibet.

It has been a long, 20-year journey and we are almost there!
In constant awe of your open-heartedness and generosity!
Love, Jennifer
