For the long continuation of the Buddhist Dagpo traditions

OUR GOAL:

The Dagpo Educational Fund has been set up with the aim of supporting the cultural, educational and philosophical aspects of Buddhist traditions of the monastic university of Dagpo Shedrup Ling anywhere in the world so that they can continue to exist for a long time and remain available for future generations. 

The Dagpo traditions consist of a way of life in which people devote themselves systematically to developing attitudes of non-violence, love, and compassion towards others, which is quite rare in the world today, and is all the more precious.

The foundation’s aims have an implicit social aspect because people who live in harmony with the traditions of Dagpo Shedrup Ling contribute to education, health and other forms of humanitarian help where needed.

The Dagpo Educational Fund uses its financial resources for this purpose with non-profit motive.
