The next generation of Buddhist teachers, tulkus, lamas, and scholars (lay and monastic, eastern and western, male and female) have a historic opportunity to make a positive impact on society, as well as a tremendous responsibility to serve and nurture the Buddha’s wisdom tradition. Therefore the importance of rigorous training cannot be overstated. Khyentse Foundation has initiated and supported a number of leadership and teacher training programs and youth development programs that have triggered a wave of new activity in the field of monastic support.
