Sponsorship

Sponsorship is a meaningful way to support the Buddha Dharma, rooted in the tradition of mutual giving and receiving between the lay community and the ordained Sangha. During the Buddha’s time, laypeople offered food to the Sangha as a gesture of respect and to accumulate merit, while the Sangha sought alms to meet their basic needs. This exchange created a deep bond between both groups.

This tradition continues today. In places like Thailand, alms-giving remains central to Buddhist practice, while Tibetan communities have historically supported monastic centers to preserve and transmit Dharma teachings. Dharma teachings are typically offered upon request, with Lamas carefully considering their benefit. Those requesting teachings or ceremonies take responsibility for covering associated costs, enabling their continuation.

At Trijang Buddhist Institute, this tradition strengthens bonds within the community and supports spiritual practice. As custodians of pure Dharma transmission, TBI is committed to preserving these teachings. To sponsor or request a teaching or ceremony (Puja), please complete the form provided. Your generosity helps sustain these precious teachings—thank you!
