It is run by the extraordinarily dedicated nun Ani Tsultrim and is under the direct spiritual guidance of the 17th Karmapa Trinlay Thaye Dorje. Thirty nuns aged between 8 and 50 live in the monastery, 23 of whom attend school. In 2022, Dhagpo Switzerland contributed to the renovation of the meditation hall which was in serious danger of collapsing. Since 2023, we have been sponsoring the salary of the secular teacher Dechen and covering the cost of school materials.<\/p>\n Our ongoing commitment:<\/strong><\/p>\n
