Zangdok Palri Institute Central building

The Zangdok Palri Institute is envisioned as a cultural and education center serving a poor rural community of some 10 000 people spread over an area of 5 000 km2 in Kham, Eastern Tibet. It will provide full education for the lay people of the Dzogchen area, who have until now had no access even to basic literacy.
 
The aim of the Institute is to: 


  • offer good studying conditions and easy access to knowledge

  • preserve one of the treasures of human kind, the ancient wisdom tradition which is Tibet's cultural heritage  

  • provide a platform for dialog and exchange between eastern and western students, scholars and researchers
