Khyentse Vision Project
A KF project to translate the collected works of major Khyentse lineage masters, starting with Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo, and to make them available online, first in English and then in other languages.
What We Do
Khyentse Foundation aims to foster the dharma and preserve and promote the Buddha’s teachings in as many ways as possible. We have identified several areas where we believe that our funds and support can make a difference. The focus of each area is loosely associated with one or more of the three lenses we use to approach our work: nurturing the source, training for the future, and embracing the present.
With Rinpoche’s guidance and direction, the foundation focuses on eight core activities.
There is so much information, so much education, so many things to read, and so many things you hear. So how we facilitate educating, teaching, and translating—that is going to be a forever, ongoing, evolving challenge.

Core Activities
Grants & Scholarships
Supporting those who wish to study, practice, or engage with the dharma in some other way has always been at the heart of Khyentse Foundation’s mission. We fund academic study of Buddhism at universities, Buddhist education for children, translation of precious texts, and many other activities. In the nonsectarian spirit of the Khyentse lineage, we support individuals and institutions from all Buddhist traditions.
Supported Initiatives
Although Khyentse Foundation’s primary goal is to offer support and encouragement for existing efforts that meet our mission to preserve and promote the dharma, occasionally we find it necessary to incubate projects ourselves. Under these special circumstances, we offer seed funding and human resources to get projects off the ground, nurture the initiative during its developmental stages, generate awareness, and assist in prelaunch activities as the project moves toward independence.
