OUR MISSION

At OTR Foundation, our mission is to preserve and support the cultural and spiritual heritage of the Nyingma Buddhist tradition of Tibet, with a particular focus on the elaborate ritual practice of drupchen. We uphold these sacred traditions by providing comprehensive event planning and financial management for drupchens across Bhutan, Nepal, India, and beyond. In collaboration with Orgyen Tobgyal Rinpoche and the esteemed monks of Chokling Monastery—the authentic holders of these ritual lineages—we ensure the successful implementation of these profound ceremonies.
We achieve our mission by:
Facilitating and sponsoring community offerings and group practice events—such as ceremonial gatherings (drupchens), meals and tea service, butter lamp offerings, tsok feast offerings, offerings to lamas and monks, and traditional services—at Pema Ewam Chögar Gyurme Ling Monastery (India), affiliated centers, and sacred pilgrimage sites.
Responsibly managing and allocating grants and donations for special projects, including the creation and distribution of traditional Buddhist art (thangkas), pilgrimages to sacred Buddhist sites, and drupchen practices at locations around the world.
Connecting the global sangha through our platform, which provides timely announcements and insightful blogs to keep everyone informed and engaged with these important spiritual activities.
Offering avenues for making offerings, which are considered both meritorious and inspiring for practitioners worldwide.
Through these activities, the OTR Foundation ensures that all funds are used in accordance with its charitable purpose, supporting both the preservation of an important cultural tradition and the well-being of the communities who uphold them.
