The Lineage Circle is a community of monthly supporters whose generosity provides the steady foundation that allows the Tsoknyi Nuns to remain focused on study and practice.
Members of the Lineage Circle are students of Tsoknyi Rinpoche and friends from around the world who feel connected to his work and are inspired to support this tradition for generations to come.
Historically, women were excluded from the highest levels of Buddhist study and realization. Beginning in the nineteenth century with the First Tsoknyi Rinpoche, this lineage affirmed that realization is not determined by gender.
Tsoknyi Rinpoche III continues this vision today through the education and long-term support of hundreds of nuns in Nepal.
Their path unfolds over many years. Consistent monthly support provides the stability that allows this work to continue.
Together, this community sustains:
- Early childhood education at Gargon Kindergarten
- Primary education at Tsoknyi Gechak School
- Daily philosophical study at the shedra
- Long-term retreat facilities
- Teachers, materials, and essential care
Each monthly gift, whether modest or substantial, becomes part of a shared commitment to their future. Become a monthly donor here.Â
