Empowering the Future: Nurturing Young Monks for the Continuity of Buddhist Wisdom and Spiritual Heritage
In the serene landscapes of Bhutan, where spirituality weaves through the fabric of daily life, a silent struggle exists. Many young hearts yearn to embrace monkhood, dedicating their lives to Buddhist and academic studies. However, the path is laden with challenges, deterring families from sending their children into the monastic fold.
In response, ACHI Sustainability Projects steps in, extending a helping hand to provide educational materials, hire teachers, and provide essential accommodations at the Kagyu Shedrub Ling institution. This foundational support initiates a transformative journey for young monks, allowing them to focus on Buddhist studies and become future bearers of Dharma teachings.
