Sponsorship for Indian Students

Precious Opportunity for YOU to sponsor Indian students to meet the dharma!

Tushita has been running courses in Hindi since 2023, and this year we hope to do our third course. However, most of these Indian students who are very eager to hear more about the Dharma do not have the financial resources to be able to come and take a 10-day course at Dharamsala.

In 2023, we had our first Introduction to Buddhism course in Hindi, attended by 121 students, including 7 monks, from 12 different Indian states. In 2024, 103 students attended this course.

Every time it was a huge success and we would love to repeat it in June 2026!

Message from the teacher Kabir Saxena Ji:
“Hello, I’m Kabir Saxena and I’m on the board of Tushita Center Dharamsala. I have a request for you all. As you know, Buddhism spread to Tibet and then came back in a very powerful way with His Holiness the Dalai Lama in 1959 and before that there had also been a movement in India with Baba Saheb Ambedkar in the mid-50s and there are many people who consider themselves Buddhists in India. However, they lack a Buddhist education. Many of them, especially those from farmer families, from very small towns or villages never have a chance to hear the dharma transmitted in a clear, coherent, reliable manner. Now, Tushita has been running courses in Hindi since 2023 and this year we hope to do our third course. However, most of these Indian students who are very eager to hear more about the Dharma do not have the financial resources to be able to come and take a 10-day course at Dharamsala. So, my request is if you feel it in your heart to be able to contribute a little bit to this cause which was wanted also by Lama Zopa Rinpoche and Lama Yeshe, our kind founders. Then if you could help us, it would be so wonderful. People benefited a great deal from the first course that we held in 2023 and we’re hoping to repeat that this year. So my heartfelt request, please help Tushita to provide the Dharma in a wonderful setting to many of our Indian brothers and sisters. Thank you so much.”
