Planned Giving

"Many people from around the world are supporting the Tsoknyi Nuns, helping to preserve the ability of these nuns to practice, far beyond my lifetime. I deeply appreciate everyone's help in this important effort." - Tsoknyi Rinpoche

The Gift of a Lifetime

A planned gift is a powerful way to practice generosity.  As you contemplate your personal legacy, please consider including Tsoknyi Rinpoche and the Tsoknyi Nuns in your will and estate planning. 

Planned giving is a way to provide a gift or bequest from your estate by including a specific provision in your will or living trust or naming Pundarika Foundation as the beneficiary of a retirement plan or life insurance policy. The virtue of a bequest is that it costs nothing now yet provides future resources for Tsoknyi Rinpoche’s humanitarian activities into the future; and you retain control of your assets during your lifetime.
