The Conservancy for Tibetan Art and Culture

The lay community of the Himali people and other Nepali Buddhist communities want to gain a deeper understanding of Buddhism, but many can only speak and read Nepali. There is a great need to train Nepali-speaking Buddhist teachers and to translate and print dharma texts and teachings in Nepali language. Many Himali people are seeking out Buddhist teachings and written materials, but face difficulty when the materials are written in Tibetan. The Conservancy and local partners have already distributed 20,000 free copies of a simple prayer pocket book written in Nepali, English and Tibetan. The simple prayer books were well received and The Conservancy plans to continue to make Buddhist materials available free of charge whenever possible.
