Tashi Lhunpo Monastery in South India was re-established in 1972 under the direction of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Now home to 250 monks, the monastery continues to work to preserve their unique culture in exile.
The running of the monastery and the education of young monks is solely dependent on public support and individual donation. Ten percent of the monks are elderly or suffering from long-term illnesses and have no family or relatives to support them.
By sponsoring a monk – young or old – your money will be used to cover their basic needs such as food, clothing, healthcare and education. His Holiness the Dalai Lama has particularly requested assistance for Tashi Lhunpo Monastery because of its special difficulties in exile.
For just £15 a month, you can really make a difference to someone’s quality of life. Please consider becoming a long-term sponsor of one of Tashi Lhunpo’s monks. Please. Go to the sponsorship form or email info@tashi-lhumpo.org.uk to request further information.
Sponsor One Of The Monks
There are 250 monks studying in Tashi Lhunpo Monastery, many of whom are in need of sponsors so that they can continue their work, and in order to support the life of the monastery. Below are photographs of some of the monks who are looking for sponsors. If you would like to sponsor one of these monks, please email info@tashi-lhunpo.org.uk for a Sponsorship Form and return it to Tashi Lhunpo Monastery UK Trust. You will then be sent the original form and photograph.
If you would like to see more photographs, then please e-mail info@tashi-lhunpo.org.uk with your name and address to request further Information.
The usual amount suggested for sponsorship is £15 per month (£180 per year), but it is of course possible to vary this amount if you choose to do so. In the Tashi Lhunpo Monastery scheme, the money sent by sponsors goes direct to the Monastery to pay for food, medicines and other essentials, rather than to the individual monk himself.
