Who We Help
Khyentse Foundation’s mission is to act as a system of patronage for institutions and individuals engaged in the practice and study of Buddha's wisdom and compassion. In the few years of the Foundation’s existence, its support has already touched thousands of lives, from Tibet, India, and Thailand to the United States, Canada, and Australia. We emphasize the study and practice of Buddhism, and our funding goes to support Tibetans, non-Tibetans, monks, nuns, lay students and practitioners, scholars, translators, and researchers from all the different Buddhist traditions.

The Khyentse Chair in Tibetan Buddhism at the University of California at Berkeley
A scholarship program that is open to students and practitioners worldwide
