The Gelek Rimpoche Archive and Jewel Heart would like to express deep gratitude to the late Gelek Rimpoche whose teachings are preserved here for the benefit of all who would seek them. He served as our source of this knowledge and as the inspiration to save it for all mankind.
We also acknowledge the good fortune of the presence of Demo Rimpoche to continue the teachings at Jewel Heart and to guide the formation of this archive.
It is a tribute to Gelek Rimpoche that many people were inspired to be involved for decades in the archive, from the earliest years of filming, recording and preserving the teachings at Jewel Heart on through to the creation and organization of the archive seen here.
This list of those who worked or funded the archive is a work in progress and though we have tried to be complete, we welcome additions.
It is an honor to recognize the following for their contributions:
