A registered Canadian charitable foundation for the
Very Venerable Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche's projects
Vajra Vidya Foundation Canada
was established at the request of the Venerable Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche in 2000.
Rinpoche has many projects in Asia that look after the educational needs of those who want to study Buddhism in Nepal, Tibet and India.
Along with superior education, the projects provide nutritious food, health services and social support. Thrangu Rinpoche's long term aim is to preserve the culture, language and the Buddhist way of life of the Himalayas, and to give Himalayan children the tools to build a better future, so they can help their own people when they grow up.
There are monasteries for monks, an abbey for nuns, schools for children, monastic colleges, free clinics, and retreat centres for monastics and lay-practitioners from all over the world.
