Dharmakaya TrustThe Trust was founded in 2014 to provide a range of teachings which are accessible to everyone, whatever their previous experience of Buddhist teachings.
In 2017, the Trust expanded its aims to incorporate a sponsorship scheme which relieves poverty amongst Tibetan refugees who have settled in and around Rewalsar, a sacred place of pilgrimage in the Himalayan foothills of Northern India. TeachingsDharmakaya Trust aims to offer a range of teachings at different venues throughout the year.
These range from an evening’s introductory talk, to a one day teaching or a longer three day residential retreat. Topics also vary, but generally focus on how to incorporate Tibetan Buddhist teachings and practice into everyday life. Teachings have been praised for their accessibility, insight and humour. Rewalsar ProjectThe Dharmakaya Trust has also developed a practical sponsorship scheme that helps to support a range of Tibetan refugees in Northern India with varying needs including children, young people, monks, nuns and elderly people.
The Trust currently facilitates sponsorship for around 86 Tibetan refugees as a result of the kindness of our sponsors. All money donated goes to the people being sponsored - administrative costs are covered separately by the Trust’s volunteers and fundraising. A relatively small amount of money by our standards can really make a difference to the everyday lives of Tibetan refugees in Rewalsar and also offers us the opportunity to practice generosity and compassion which are at the heart of Tibetan Buddhist teachings.
