Of course. The locals have repeatedly expressed their warm welcome to visitors, inviting them to experience the culture of Tibetan Buddhism and the spiritual energy of Kawagebo. In the near future, Zen Blessing will respond to this invitation by offering exclusive travel experiences for the Zen Blessing community. Our goal is to ensure that these interactions respect the local culture while providing pilgrims with an unforgettable, life-changing experience.

We work directly with the local Tibetan people, purchasing their craftsmanship and products at a premium price to establish long-term, sustainable partnerships. We also collaborate with monks to infuse spiritual energy into these products, blessing them with spiritual power. Additionally, we work with local monasteries on cultural projects that they believe will help preserve their heritage for generations.

Our relationship with the Tibetan people, monks, and monasteries is like that of close family and friends. Our team visits the monasteries and Tibetan communities every month, not just for work, but also to enjoy each other's company as friends. The Tibetan people welcome us into their homes, teaching us their culture, and we learn from them. We also invite them to visit us in our home in Kunming, a nearby city, and they have invited us to weddings (and funerals). This is just one example of many.
We have not established a one-time relationship with the Tibetan people, monks, and monasteries, but are committed to a long-term partnership. We enjoy this, and so do they.

Any content we publish is done with the consent of the involved parties, and appropriate compensation is provided.

However, the truly high-ranking monks and spiritual leaders do not expect us to pay them for their involvement. They simply wish to promote their culture.

Additionally, during our monthly visits to Tibetan villages and monasteries, we often share our users' needs and related posts, sometimes even reading through comments. This often sparks interesting conversations and laughter, as they are happy to share their culture with outsiders.

It’s important to understand that our relationship with the Tibetan people is not transactional but more like a family bond. This distinction is crucial because it means we should treat each other as family. It’s a deeper commitment than just paying someone to take a photo.

Zen Blessing allocates 5% of its profits to the community. While this may seem modest, it holds great significance in the hearts of the Tibetan people. Additionally, the founder of Zen Blessing is a rare disease patient and also a writer, who understands deeply the many hardships faced by people in China. Therefore, our commitment to responsibly giving back to the community is a delicate and serious task, requiring us to measure our impact from various perspectives—environmental, economic, cultural, and social.
We are a young company with the goal of gradually achieving this. Once we are confident that our local projects are having a positive impact, improving harmony, and empowering the local community, we will increase this percentage over time.

We ask everyone to judge for themselves. The founder of Zen Blessing understands the local community, cares about their well-being, and actively collaborates with them to improve their future. Whatever questions people may have about this matter, we are more than happy to respond. To stay updated on our local initiatives, please follow our social responsibility efforts.

1. We purchase their craftsmanship and products at a reasonable and healthy premium.
2. We dedicate at least 5% of our profits to community-focused plans.

Whatever we do, we ensure that our presence contributes to the sustainable development of the community, particularly the Tibetan people, monasteries, and the sacred Kawagebo mountain, without causing harm in any way.

Regarding the issue of resource depletion, here’s some background information that may help answer your question: The government has long prohibited human climbs of Kawagebo to protect its environment and sacred power. Strict regulations are in place to prevent abuse of its natural resources. This means that the inherent resources are protected from overexploitation.

Zen Blessing is a small company, and our demand for Tibetan resources and Kawagebo is negligible, estimated at less than 0.001%. As we grow into a larger company, our needs will still represent only a small fraction of the overall demand.

We exclusively purchase products from the Tibetan people in the Eastern Himalayas (currently gemstones, crystals, and handicrafts). In response to your question, this means that by encouraging local Tibetans to use purely natural materials, we are actively contributing to the protection of the entire ecosystem, thereby safeguarding the health of local community resources.

We believe these factors are what create the brand quality, spiritual energy, and power of Zen Blessing’s products. If you're interested in learning more about our social responsibility initiatives in Shangri-La and Kawagebo, please contact us at: support@zenblessing.com
