About KBI

The Monastery we are raising money for is Kyegu Monastery, situated in the town of Kamrao in Northern India.

The Monastery was founded in 1965 by the Tibetan refugees who fled Tibet in 1958.

H. E. Aenpo Rinpoche is the Abbot of Kyegu Monastery. Rinpoche's loving kindness and his compassionate ways are helpful, encouraging and inspiring to many people.

There are approx fifty monks under Rinpoche’s guidance at the Monastery. Many of them have made harrowing trips through the snow, risking death at the hands of Chinese soldiers, to make it to their monastery at Kamrao.

In Tibet, a monk’s expenses were traditionally covered by members of the family, but as refugees, these monks have either left their families behind or have come into exile with other family members who are similarly impoverished.

The heart of Tibetan culture resides in its spiritual teachings, which are preserved in the sincere and dedicated practice of the Sangha. Their spiritual teachings can only be kept alive with our help.

They live very cheaply of course and each monk’s entire needs can be met by only $10 a week – that’s about $500 a week for the running of whole Monastery.
