Description

Sponsoring the printing of Dharma books has been a mainstay of Buddhist practice for millennia. The benefits are vast — the immense merits collected from sponsoring Dharma publications increases lifespan, heals body and mind, reduces obstacles and problems, and creates the necessary conditions to make lasting positive changes in your life.

When you support our Dharma Publishing Fund, you are also helping others on their spiritual journey through a truly unique presentation of Buddha's teachings. Every contribution is greatly appreciated – no matter how big or small.

Sponsoring the Dharma

Practising Buddha's teachings transforms lives for the better. Wanting to help others through his teachings is also part of the Buddhist path. It's an expression of your compassion — wishing to free others from negative life situations through wisdom and self-transformation.

That’s why teaching the Dharma is the highest form of giving. If Buddha never spoke, there would be no path, no antidote, no method, no end and no recognition of the need for liberation. Hence, teaching is the method to give the most supreme of refuges which is the Dharma.

"How beautiful it is to bring others happiness in this life and share with them the methods for happy future lives."
– Tsem Rinpoche, A Seed Was Planted

However, not all of us are able to teach the Dharma directly. Therefore, the next best alternative is to support those who can, as well as the publication of Dharma texts and other printed materials. By sponsoring Dharma activities, you'll also gain the benefits of better physical health, longer lifespan, reduced obstacles, tremendous spiritual merit and create the necessary conditions to make a lasting positive change in your life.

At Kechara, we consciously adhere to the Buddhist principle that profits should not be made from Dharma teachings and initiations. As such, we are heavily reliant on sponsorship and donations, which have dropped precipitously due to uncertainties caused by the global economic downturn. Despite our limited resources, we will continue doing our best to make a difference in the lives of spiritual seekers around the world and we hope you will join us on this journey.
