Why Support Rigpa Lerab Ling

Lerab Ling is the spiritual home and heart centre of the worldwide Rigpa community. All the most important teachings given by Sogyal Rinpoche and other great contemporary Buddhist masters, take place here. Rigpa’s worldwide educational programmes and study and practice materials are all planned and developed from Lerab Ling.

In order to accomplish the vision of our work we need the support of more donors, so that we can plan our programmes and activities in the most effective and beneficial way possible.

 

How You Can Help

From the moment we first bought the land at Lerab Ling in 1991,
we have been supported by a group of deeply committed and visionary benefactors. As our programmes and activities have expanded steadily over the years, we now need many more donors
to join in supporting our work.

• Become a Friend of Lerab Ling

When you become a Friend of Lerab Ling you help us cover the costs of all Lerab Ling's activities that are not covered by the income of our programmes. This will guarantee Lerab Ling to remain an inspiring environment for everyone who comes to receive teachings or find spiritual solace. If you make your donation unrestricted, we will be able to use it in the area where it is needed most at the time of your donation.

Your monthly contribution for one or more years, is an invaluable source of support!

Sponsor Prayers for Sogyal Rinpoche

To create the most favourable circumstances for Sogyal Rinpoche’s health, long life, vision and work, we sponsor many practices at monasteries in India, Nepal and Tibet, as well as here at Lerab Ling. We also free the lives of animals, an ancient Tibetan Buddhist practice that is said to prolong lives. It is said that by sponsoring major practices like these, you will share in the merit of the practice and receive its blessings. Donate

• Sponsor Sacred Decorations in the Temple

Sponsoring sacred images is a special way of connecting with the temple in Lerab Ling. For a complete overview of images still available for sponsoring, please click here.


The Rigpa Legacy Programme

Long-term financial security of Sogyal Rinpoche's work is the primary focus of the Tertön Sogyal Foundations and the Rigpa Legacy Programme. One of the most lasting and significant ways that you can support his work is by making a donation through your Will.

Thank you for your generosity!
