Rinchen Dharlo, the president of the Tibet Fund, is retiring after 30 years with organization. Dharlo also served as the North American representative for the Tibetan government-in-exile. He will be succeeded by Lobsang Nyandak, who currently serves as the executive director of the fund. In a letter, Dharlo wrote,
“I have worked to the best of my ability with sincere determination for the betterment of our fellow Tibetans in exile as well as inside Tibet… Looking at our achievement, my heart is filled with a sense of pride and fulfillment that I have contributed in my small way for the benefit of fellow Tibetans and to fulfill the wishes of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.”
The Tibet Fund provides health care, education, rehabilitation, cultural support, and development programs to hundreds of thousands of Tibetan refugees living in India and Nepal.
Can you help us at a critical time?
COVID-19 has brought tremendous suffering, uncertainty, fear, and strain to the world.
Our sincere wish is that these Buddhist teachings, guided practices, and stories can be a balm in these difficult times. Over the past month, over 400,000 readers like you have visited our site, reading almost a million pages and streaming over 120,000 hours of video teachings. We want to provide even more Buddhist wisdom but our resources are strained. Can you help us?
No one is free from the pandemic’s impact, including Lion’s Roar. We rely significantly on advertising and newsstand sales to support our work — both of which have dropped precipitously this year. Can you lend your support to Lion’s Roar at this critical time?
