The foundation’s board mem- bers, according to Rinpoche, were looking at San Diego, Den- ver, Boston and New York — all cities with large Tibetan Bud- dhist communities — as possi- ble headquarters. A Buddhist ritual reserved for important decisions was chosen for mak- ing the selection. Each city’s name was written on a piece of paper, and each paper was placed in a small ball of dough. At the last moment, one of the board members said he had once driven through Portland on Interstate 5 and he had a good feeling about the city, so Portland’s name was added to a dough ball. The dough balls were placed in a pot which was shaken until one piece of dough fl ew out — the one with Portland written inside. Nobody suggested best two out of three, or that a more rational selection process be used. “The decisions (are) beyond our intelligence,” Rinpoche says. “Really, it’s based on trust.” Portland loves prayer fl ags Maitripa College trains chap- lains to act as spiritual caregiv- ers and masters of divinity, much like Christian colleges do.
