[Full Bleed Picture of Rinpoche with the nuns]
Tsoknyi Rinpoche’s activity in the world begins with the Dharma. His primary offering is the transmission of authentic teachings rooted in the living traditions of Tibetan Buddhism. Yet his commitment extends far beyond the meditation hall. Rinpoche actively supports a range of projects that serve both spiritual and secular well-being: empowering the Tsoknyi Nuns through education and training, offering secular learning opportunities for children in Nepal’s remote Nubri region, preserving important and rare texts and teachings, and making the Dharma accessible globally through books, films, and other mediums.
Each project reflects Rinpoche’s deep intention to benefit beings in practical and lasting ways—preserving wisdom, nurturing compassion, and supporting the conditions for awakening in diverse and changing times.
