Exchange program for visiting monastic scholars to help modernize education at Tibetan Buddhist institutions in India.

Since 2011, Kamalashila Initiative (KI) has offered its Visiting Scholars Program as a humble contribution to His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama's vision of modernizing education at Tibetan Buddhist institutions in India. Here, Buddhist scholars from KI partner institutions in India are invited to participate in a 10-week, intensive English as a Second Language program at the University of California, Irvine. 

While Visiting Scholars build their academic and linguistic capacity, they also engage in exciting cultural exchange activities in partnership with the local community. In doing so, KI leverages the wisdom of its Visiting Scholars, gained through a lifetime's dedication to Buddhist practice, to help increase the wellbeing of the local community through meditation and the cultivation of altruism.

To cultivate compassion and loving-kindness practice through our supported programs.

Founded in April 2019, the Ngari Institute Foundation is a nonprofit religious corporation with IRS 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status, in Orange County, California. It is a non-sectarian Mahayana Buddhist organization, dedicated to preserving and disseminating Buddha Dharma based on the teachings and guidance of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.

Our mission is to cultivate the practice of compassion and loving-kindness through two core programs, which:
- Raise awareness and financial support for our affiliate organization, the Ngari Institute of Buddhist Dialectics in Saboo Village, Ladakh, India.
- Raise awareness and financial support for the UCI-Tibet Initiative, a Research, Language and Cultural Exchange Program, established in 2011 on the campus of University of California, Irvine.

The Foundation is composed of Buddhist practitioners, who follow the Tibetan Vajrayana tradition and share the commitment of promoting a peaceful and harmonious world. Beside the two primary programs, we occasionally organize and offer public programs and teachings, led by Tibetan Buddhist masters from all four major schools of Tibetan Buddhism.

We don’t currently support donations to this nonprofit.
