Tara Abbey:
Most of the them come from the northern areas of Nepal but there are also many from Tibet, India and Bhutan. Sometimes nuns from other Asian countries and the west come to stay at the Abbey. Tara Abbey now has more than 230 nuns. Thrangu Rinpoche had long held the intention to establish a monastic center for women in order to make available to them the full range of monastic, liturgical, philosophical and meditation training that is available to monks. With the full range of training available to them, they will be able to teach both in the east and the west thereby helping to preserve and propagate the Buddha’s teachings. In a world where women are becoming stronger, more educated and more involved in all spheres including
religion, the development of female teachers is important. As the nuns increasingly become both scholars and yogis they will be a source of inspiration to both women and men.
Shree Mangal Dvip school:
In 1987, Thrangu Rinpoche founded SMD Boarding School near the Great Stupa in the Kathmandu valley of Nepal. SMD Boarding School was opened to serve the needs of children from the Himalayas where there are no schools. In 2002, Rinpoche opened a SMD Branch School for monks to relieve crowding at the main school. The Branch School is at Namo Buddha, on the rim of the Kathmandu valley, about two hours away from the Kathmandu valley. SMD Schools offer education, housing, medical and dental care to hundreds
of mountain kids. Most of the children are from the north of Nepal, but culturally and linguistically they are Nepali and Tibetan, and their thinking is Buddhist. For centuries, the teachings of the Buddha have flourished without interruption in the Himalayas of Nepal.
Nepal is the poorest country in Asia. It has the lowest literacy rates in Asia, and one of the highest child mortality rates in the world....
