It was the venerable H.E. Yeshe Sangpo Rinpoche and H.E. Khendro Pema Chodron who made such pure, perfect, and grand wishes to establish the Monastery. In particular, they engaged themselves in every detail of the construction, from the site-searching, the design of the Monastery, fundraising, the selection of construction materials and workers, to the oversight of several years of construction work. The result was what H.H. Dungse Thingley Norbu Rinpoche praised as the topnotch Monastery.

H.H. Dungse Thingley Norbu Rinpoche once prophesied that the merits of the Samye Memorial Buddhist Monastery are equivalent to those of the Glorious Copper-Colored Mountain (the pure land of Guru Rinpoche) and of the Samye Monastery, the first Tibetan Buddhism Monastery built by Guru Rinpoche. The Samye Memorial Monastery is thus the mandala of Zambala, the naturally formed mani-treasure, and the auspicious site helping all sentient beings accumulate merits and wisdom.
