Testimonials

Our donors help make the world a more loving and peaceful place.
Read why our donors provide support to the Tsoknyi Nuns through their estate plans.

A trip to Nepal in 2017 included a visit to Chobar to tour Tsoknyi Gechak Ling campus and nunnery. An afternoon interacting with the lively girls, young women, and staff was highlight of my Nepal adventure!

Educating girls has always been important to me. Leaving a legacy gift to the Tsoknyi Humanitarian Foundation ( THF) is a significant way my contribution will continue long after my time in a body is over.

Lifting up women, lifts up our world!

I first started supporting the Tsoknyi Nuns during Rinpoche’s 2011 pilgrimage to Nepal, India, and Bhutan. When in Bodhgaya, Julie Green and Jean Chang appealed to the group to purchase a vehicle for the nuns at Chobar, who had a single small motorbike to serve all their transportation needs!

From that time, I became so inspired by Rinpoche’s vision not only for the nuns at Chobar but for all the nuns in his care, that I just kept supporting them over the years. Watching all of the nunneries grow and the nuns and their activities thrive and blossom has been a great joy. Knowing I’ve played a small part in this through giving and through rejoicing in all that’s been accomplished through the efforts of so many people, knowing that my connection with them will continue and increase, makes for a very sweet happiness indeed.
