Ewan is a non profit which carries out the project and states :"
Gochen Tulku Sang-ngag Rinpoche, an incarnate Tibetan Buddhist lama, conceived of the Garden of 1,000 Buddhas as a physical symbol of the enlightened potential in all beings. Begun in 2003, the Garden rests in the heart of the Jocko Valley on land of the Confederated Salish & Kootenai Tribes of the Flathead Reservation just north of Arlee, Montana. It is scheduled for completion in the fall of 2011.
The garden is in response to the increasing negativity which is manifesting across the planet and will help to pacify , sooth and heal.
There are opportunities to help in many ways to contribute in this project which will be consecrated in fall 2011 by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and other personalities of the Nyingma tradition among many others .
Quoting from the site which we highly recommend to peruse such opportunities include :
