Our Vision
In order to overcome the limitations of narrow and biased ways of thinking, we believe that education is the key. Through the cultivation of extraordinary individuals who exemplify the profound wisdom of Kalachakra, we aim to inspire others to realise their ultimate potential and transform the way we think about modern education on a fundamental level.
Our Activities
The Dzokden Foundation is dedicated to the creation and distribution of high quality educational materials that support the ongoing development of individuals and communities in order to establish compassion-centered societies. Our work is focused around three main areas of activity:
Online Learning Programs
Providing clear and structured guidance for the study and practice of the Kalachakra Path.
Supports for Practice
Establishing conditions for Kalachakra practitioners to
flourish in this world
Books and Translations
Ensuring the teachings of the Kalachakra Tantra are preserved for future generations.
Upcoming Projects
Volunteers from around the world are offering their time, creativity and resources to realise Khentrul Rinpoché’s vision of global peace and harmony. To support their efforts, we will be focusing our fundraising efforts around a selection of projects in accordance with our three core areas of activity. The following are some of the projects that we will be developing in the coming year:
Portrait of Lama Lutrin
In honour of the 20th anniversary of Kyabje Lama Lobsang Trinlé’s parinirvana, we will be commissioning a detailed portrait of Khentrul Rinpoché’s beloved Root Guru.
