We are delighted and humbled that His Holiness the 12th Gangri Karma Rinpoche, the thirty-eighth holder of the Martsang Kagyu lineage, plans to re-build a Martsang Kagyu Buddhist monastery.

Therefore, we are committed to providing a harmonious setting where the study of Tibetan Buddhism, philosophy, and Buddhist scientific research take place alongside other complementary teachings and events.
