“This is samsara, we must try”

The Amitabha Foundation was chartered to provide support for a variety of cultural and humanitarian needs in Tibet, India and Nepal. Programs we have completed include community economic opportunities, family and monk sponsorship, sleeping and dining quarters, clinic and dispensary and retreat centers. In recent years emergencies such as the devastating Kathmandu Earthquake and recently Covid-19, have created direct relief efforts of food, medicine and water.

COVID-19 update: Urgent need for food, medicines and supplies for the monasteries. Please consider making a one time donation or monthly tithe if you can help. Please click here for more information
