Tenpa

"Tenpa" literally means the "teachings spoken by the Buddha". This program provides support for lineage monasteries, and spiritual retreats in India and Nepal. Examples of the kinds of needs that Tenpa helps address include sponsoring education of monks, maintenance of monasteries, and emergency funds.

Success Story- In 2009, YTDR sponsored of education of 17 monks from Garphuk Monastery located on the very border of Tibet and Katmandu. At an elevation of 14,000 feet and without reliable electricity, the harsh winters make it not possible for these children to study. YTDR made it possible for these children to stay in a major city of Nepal, during the four most severe winter months, where they were provided housing and a tutor in order to continue their studies.

Your contribution will help ensure the survival of lineage monasteries that directly benefit the local Tibetan communities which they support, and offer sacred Buddhist teachings to students from all over the globe. Please help us by supporting this very worthy cause.
