2003
The Foundation made a grant to this organization ("ODN") in the sum of $56,000 for the purpose of financing a pilot project which sought, in a scholarly manner, to reconcile modern American Buddhist and meditation practice with ancient Tantric Vajrayana Buddhism. The late Buddhist scholar and teacher Khempo Yurmed Tinly Rinpoche led a project to translate ancient Buddhist writings and analyze their contents with modern forms of American Buddhism, as represented by the works of Dr. Frederick Lenz ("Rama").

In 2004-2005, the Foundation also provided seed money in the amount of $5,000, and made a $100,000 interest-free loan (now repaid), to present a successful four-day teaching event at Miami, Florida, conducted by His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
2006
Upon Khempo's passing, ODN determined that there were sufficient completed materials authored by Khempo to produce a single volume suitable for publication. Accordingly, the Foundation has made an additional $30,600 grant to complete the project.
