Providing for Monks, Nuns and Children This project
provides direct financial assistance to young monks and nuns in India, Nepal and Tibet who are committed to continuing their study and practice of the pure traditions of the dharma. Donations supply individual monastics
with books, food, clothing and medical care. Monasteries, such as Rumtek in Sikkim, have limited resources and cannot fully support all of the young Tibetan refugees who seek their traditional training. These
individuals may lack texts crucial for their studies and other basic necessities. Your contribution may be designated in several ways, as: 1) a general contribution; 2) a specific donation for an individual nun or monk
(with whom you could correspond); 3) aid for a student in the shedra; or 4) aid for a three year retreatant. Support may also be directed towards the education of refugee children in Indian and Nepali communities.
These donations cover yearly tuition costs. Schooling is a significant factor in the lives of these children and is often their only means to learn the skills that will allow them to be independent later in life,
to assist other family members and their exile communities. Bodhi Heart would like to thank those people who have sponsored Tibetan refugee monastics and children this year. Your contributions are supporting young
monks and nuns in the process of developing their full training in sila, samadhi, and prajna. Older lamas with serious medical conditions are receiving assistance as well. Several monks in three-year retreat will be
supplied with food, warm clothes, and practice materials. Young children are being provided with funds for school tuition and books. Because these individuals have meager resources, or perhaps none at all, your
generosity has touched their lives in a fundamental way. Bodhi Heart extends to all of you sincere appreciation for your concern and kindness. For information on Bodhi Heart, or to sponsor a Tibetan refugee monastic
or child, please see contact the appropriate person below: Bodhi Heart:
