How ZAM Came Into Being
ZAM is more than just an ordinary name, it has deeply, profound meaning.
The name ZAM was given by the great master Kyabjé Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, as ZAM is the seed syllable of the mantra of Dzambhala the ‘god of wealth’. The term ‘wealth’ in Buddhism has different levels of meaning and, on an inner level, often refers to our Buddha Nature, which is the greatest richness we possess.
Sogyal Rinpoche, the Founder of Rigpa, said the word ‘ZAM’ has the meaning of a treasure store “where everything is plentiful” “anything you want you have”, “everything is available there”.
At the time of its inception, ZAM received the blessing of the Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche and the logo is a beautiful calligraphy drawn by Sogyal Rinpoche.
With the blessing of these great masters, we hope that ZAM can continue to benefit many people everywhere by sharing authentic dharma materials and teachings.
