The Little Monks say: "We need your Support, thank you very much"

 

Zurmang Kagyud Buddhist Foundation is a non-profit, social welfare organisation established by Gharwang Rinpoche with the compassionate intention to serve the community. The organisation relies solely on the charitable contribution of donors to help lend support to Rinpoche in his tireless effort.


 

It is Rinpoche's lifetime mission to continuously uphold and propagate the Buddha's teachings for the benefit of all sentient beings. The Foundation's vision is to build a "bridge" that will reduce if not eliminate the sufferings of the people by providing the less fortunate with food, clothing, shelter,medical care, education as well as spiritual and emotional support. To bring hope to them based on compassion, wisdom and skilful means. It is all about love, care and hope!

These littlemonks are now temporarily staying in Gharwang Rinpoche's house (where Rinpoche was born). Rinpoche is now building a school with better facilities to house them. You can see from the pictures. These monks (some are orphans) are as young as 4 or 5, maybe even 3 years of age and they come from very poor families.

These additional littlemonks will add to a total of about 333 monks in LIngdum Monastery. Lama sponsorship is definitely needed to help fulfill the mission of Rinpoche. Besides studying English and Tibetan, these little monks are also given time and break to play football as a form of physical exercise to keep fit, as you can see from the pictures too.


 

These little monks were taken from school to Lingdum Monastery on Sikkim Losar Day (17/12/2009) to be given the Buddhist Refuge by Gharwang Rinpoche.
