Nhenang Palden Pawo Monastery

This monastery in the Kathmandu Valley of Nepal, provides a home and education for 24 monks, aged 8 to 20. In our modern world, monasteries have an important role, preserving the Tibetan culture, history, language and writing, as well as religion.

The Spiritual Master of this Monastery, 11th Pawo Rinpoche, was born in Tibet, but is not allowed to leave Tibet. Without a spiritual master living in the Nepal Monastery, financial difficulties developed because donors do not visit for his blessings. Jurme Wangda visits the Monastery regularly to help with the education of the young monks. OFT’s annual financial support helps to provide housing, food and education for the young monks who live there.
