FULFILLING A VISION

His Eminence The 3rd Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche, a senior leader of the
Karma Kagyu School of Tibetan Buddhism, responded to the plight of needyTibetans in India and Nepal with a vision for social, vocational, educational and medical development. The programs were eventually broadened so that populations of all backgrounds could benefit. In fact, His Eminence’s aim was to provide basic opportunity for personal growth and quality of life for people of all ages. A wide range of projects was initiated to achieve this goal.
RDF works with its overseas partners, Paramita Charitable Trust (India) and Ananda Sangh (Nepal), both of which were established by His Eminence to fulfill his vision with projects in India such as The Jamgon Kongtrul 3rd Memorial Home for the destitute elderly and young, The Jamgon Kongtrul 3rd Memorial School and the Jamgon Kongtrul 3rd Memorial Health Care Centre as well as the Sight Restoration Programs in India, Nepal and Tibet.

Donations to RDF are tax dedctible and go directly to support the projects. Please give what you can.
