Community & Cultural Programs
Keeping Tibetan culture alive in everyday community life.
2012–present
Overview
Direct programming with the diaspora community — teaching elders to read, bringing master teachers and musicians to New York, and creating moments where the culture is lived, not just preserved. This work was carried out by our founder and a dedicated group of volunteers, and now continues under the Foundation.
