The Gift of Lifetimes

The potential of the Tsoknyi Nuns, as envisioned by Rinpoche, is for them to achieve enlightenment in female form. Sustaining and nourishing their practice through an endowment allows this wisdom tradition to flourish far beyond our lifetimes. Help us in supporting Rinpoche’s heart project of creating the Tsoknyi Nuns’ Endowment Fund.
