Donations
Your support helps fund people and projects dedicated to preserving, sustaining, and promoting Buddha’s wisdom.
Make A Donation
We must remind ourselves that every penny that has been received has been offered from the heart with devotion. People have worked so hard to earn money and then they give it to the dharma. Then it becomes property of the three gems, the Buddha, dharma, and sangha. So we must be vigilant about how we help.

Donating to Khyentse Foundation

Thanks to the generosity of a handful of patrons, recurring donations are matched, so they have twice the impact!
