Founded by H.E The Third Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche
FULFILLING A VISION
 |
His Eminence's vision was to provide people of all ages with basic opportunity for personal growth and quality of life. A wide range of projects has been initiated to achieve this goal. Rigpe Dorje Foundation (Canada) is part of an international network of foundations founded by His Eminence The Third Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche in the mid-eighties. His Eminence, a senior leader of the Karma Kagyu School of Tibetan Buddhism, was concerned with the plight of Tibetan refugees in India and Nepal. Through his vision, many programs of social, vocational, educational and medical development have been established. Although his initial focus was on Tibetan communities, he later broadened it so that peoples of all backgrounds currently benefit. |
