Join us in celebrating our founder’s birthday

On February 12, Tenzin Ösel Hita celebrates his birthday.

He invites us all to join his birthday campaign to support the Global Tree Initiative.

“Our mission at Global Tree Initiative is to improve people’s lives in general. Of course, there has to be an action first, in order to start the whole reaction chain, so planting trees is the first step. It is active compassion towards earth and every sentient being, without any expectation in return.

That is true generosity.

From there, starts a whole new process of lifestyle, attitude, ways of relating to the world, and relating to oneself.”

~ Tenzin Ösel Hita

Thank you, Ösel, for your ongoing support and guidance.

Happy birthday! May we celebrate many more, together!

Thank you so much to everyone who has donated already, helping Ösel to reach his goal of 777 euros.

You can still join Ösel’s campaign. You can donate through Facebook, or right here on our website.

“That is the purpose of GTI, to bring everybody together. To create a global community of conscious citizens.”

~ Tenzin Ösel Hita
