THE DORJEE ZONG NUNNERY
is a 700 year-old Tibetan Buddhist outpost in the high attitude Himalayan region of Zanskar, Northern India. The nuns who live in this humble monastery are entirely cut off from the outside world during the long winter months. They are famed for reaching advanced levels of meditative realization in this remote and difficult setting.

Our Service Project is undertaken in collaboration with the Tibetan Nuns Project, a registered charity founded in 1987 under the auspices of H. H. the Dalai Lama to support nuns in India from all Tibetan Buddhist lineages.
OUR SERVICE PROJECT
is a voluntary initiative led by students of the Contemplative Studies Program to raise USD $20,000 in support of the educational and medical needs of twenty-five nuns living at the Dorjee Zong Nunnery. Our group supports the preservation of Tibetan culture and is grateful to the Tibetan Buddhist lineage we are studying in the Contemplative Studies Program.
Celebrate the Merits of Raising $20,000!!
Thanks to the Avalokiteshvara Virtual Study Group members who developed a Lojong Deck as our final service offering and brought us to goal! Our donation is far-reaching when realizing the local impact of the equivalent 1,457,000 Indian Rupees at our Coronation Workshop. With gratitude to all who contributed service offerings and those who supported them, as well as other generous donors throughout the 2 years.
