His Eminence Dorje Dhenpa Rinpoche is the head of the Dzongpa Tradition, a sub-school of the glorious Sakya lineage from Tibet. He runs and is responsible for Gongkar Choede monastery and has been working tirelessly to rebuild the Dzongpa tradition that was at risk of dying out in Tibet. Please help The costs of organising a tour are substantial and is all covered by donations. Please help us by making an offering to make the tour possible and help the monks and refugees at Gongkar Choede    Gongkar Choede Monastery In the heart of the jungle in Northern India, near the foothills of the Himilayas, lies Gongkar Choede Monastery, Here 80 monks study and live in an atmosphere of peace and friendliness. The monks built the monastery themselves, including the road leading to it. Nearby is a small Tibetan colony of refugees who work together with the Monastery. These are the people we aim to support.
