A New Years Gift of Dharma for All

Dear Friends,

As we step into a new year, it’s a time for reflection and renewal—a moment to align our intentions with compassion and wisdom. At the Buddhist Studies Institute, we are inspired by the extraordinary legacy of teachings from Pema Khandro and Tibetan Buddhism, and the profound transformation they bring to people’s lives.

More people than ever are seeking the tools of insight, mindfulness, and resilience to navigate the challenges of life. Some come in search of solace; others, in search of profound wisdom. Regardless of their journey, we are here to meet them with open hearts and the life-changing teachings of the Dharma.

This year, through your generous support, we’ve:

  • Provided scholarships and reduced-cost access to teachings, retreats, and courses for students in financial need.

  • Offered online programs that reached thousands globally, connecting seekers with meditation, mindfulness, and Buddhist philosophy.

  • Continued our commitment to preserving and sharing the precious lineage teachings of Tibetan Buddhism through rigorous scholarship and heartfelt practice.

Your generosity is the bridge that allows these offerings to flourish. Without the support of our community, our ability to provide accessible teachings would not be possible.

As we approach the year’s end, we invite you to partner with us in continuing this vital work. Your tax-deductible donation ensures that anyone—regardless of financial ability—can find refuge and guidance through these transformative teachings.

If these teachings have touched your life, you know the immeasurable value they hold. Let’s make 2025 a year of expanded access to wisdom, compassion, and inner peace for all.


We’ve raised $6,000 so far, please help us reach our $25,000 goal. Click the button below to make your New Year’s gift today.

With deep gratitude,
The Team at Buddhist Studies Institute
