Who We Are Khyentse Foundation was established to actualize the vision of Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche to preserve and promote the Buddha’s wisdom. Primarily a funding institution, our mostly volunteer foundation is constantly growing and evolving, shaped by the needs and circumstances of the world and those who seek our support. With additional projects funded every year, the efforts and contributions of our supporters and staff allow Khyentse Foundation to reach hundreds of thousands of people who are interested in the teachings of the Buddha. We believe that everyone, whether Buddhist or not, has something to gain from the Buddha’s insight. Buddha’s wisdom is for everyone. Grant Philosophy Supporting Buddhist Study and practice is at the heart of Khyentse Foundation’s mission, and our grants and scholarships programs are the way we connect with you and learn about your work. There are a number of ways to apply, and we support a wide range of dharma studies, practice, and activities. Our applicants are Buddhist teachers, students, scholars, educators, translators, practitioners, and retreatants. In the nonsectarian spirit of the Khyentse lineage, we support all Buddhist traditions from all parts of the world. Each application is reviewed by international review committees, appointed by Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche. Are you seeking financial assistance for a Buddhist studies program? To complete work on a translation project? To take time for retreat? To start a Buddhist education program for children? For a grassroots effort in India or Nepal?
