Your sponsorship donations cover room, board, robes, health care, educational resources, and a small stipend for these deserving monks and nuns. In prior times, these expenses were traditionally covered by members of the family, but these monks and nuns have either left their families behind or have family members who are similarly impoverished. The heart of Tibetan culture resides in its spiritual teachings, which are preserved in the sincere and dedicated practice of these monks and nuns.
|
Sed Gyed Institute of Buddhist Studies in West Bengal, India, is a Gelugpa monastery that provides a traditional and modern Tibetan Buddhist education to the young monks living there.
The nuns at Tsamkang are rebuilding their temple and constructing residences on the far eastern Tibetan plateau. They pool their resources and spend most of their time in retreat, without the support of a resident lama. Correspondence with them will be extremely limited due to the cost and scarcity of translators traveling to this remote Tibetan region. Your donations provide for all their needs and allow these nuns to pursue Buddhist practice in their homeland.
