2014 ANNUAL REPORT The Chokgyur Lingpa Foundation was founded in 2006 by His Eminence Tsikey Chokling together with Kyabgön Phakchok Rinpoche; the Foundation is now represented in Nepal, USA, Germany and Hong Kong.

Each year since 2006, the Foundation has been able to benefit thousands of sentient beings. While we rejoice in what we have been able to accomplish so far, our aspirations by no means stop here, as we seek to expand each year. We hope to build on these small, but significant beginnings, expanding our activities to benefit others through healthcare, education, and foremost, the sacred buddhadharma.
