Buddha’s Wisdom for Everyone.
Khyentse Foundation is a nonprofit organization founded in 2001 by Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche to support all traditions of Buddhist study and practice. Since 2001, the foundation has supported individuals and institutions in more than 30 countries and has directly affected the lives of people around the world. Khyentse Foundation activities include major text preservation and translation projects, support for traditional monastic colleges in Asia, a worldwide scholarship and awards program, academic development of Buddhist studies in major universities, training and development for Buddhist leaders and teachers, Buddhist education for children, support for individual study and retreats, and more.
“In a short time Khyentse Foundation has achieved so much, and this is all due to the blessings of the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, and also the merit of sentient beings.”
“Khyentse Foundation is to be celebrated for their invaluable contributions to Buddhist scholarship and teaching around the world. The Foundation’s farsighted support and promotion of the academic study of Buddhism will, no doubt, play a significant role in the preservation and adaptation of the Buddhist heritage.”
“The breadth and scope of Khyentse Foundation’s vision to support all living Buddhist traditions is remarkable and deserves great attention. May their mission extend far into all lands so that the precious teachings of the Dharma can reach all sentient beings.”
“We would not be where we are today without that financial and organizational support that Khyentse Foundation has provided TBRC over the years. We now have realized a long-term preservation plan for the entire Tibetan literary heritage. Amazing.”
