About the Organization
Khyentse Foundation was established to actualize the vision of Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche to preserve and promote the Buddha’s wisdom. Primarily a funding institution, our mostly volunteer foundation is constantly growing and evolving, shaped by the needs and circumstances of the world and those who seek our support. With additional projects funded every year, the efforts and contributions of our supporters and staff allow Khyentse Foundation to reach hundreds of thousands of people who are interested in the teachings of the Buddha. We believe that everyone, whether Buddhist or not, has something to gain from the Buddha’s insight.
About the Grant
Khyentse Foundation Trisong Grants aim to identify and support individuals and organizations that are working to promote mental health and well-being in the world, through projects and programs that have a foundation in Buddha’s wisdom. In difficult and turbulent times, people may not know where to turn for help. Khyentse Foundation wants to find new ways for people to experience the benefits of Buddha’s teachings. Projects do not need to be overtly Buddhist, but they should be rooted in Buddhist view and practice and share in values that alleviate suffering, encourage emotional well-being, and strengthen both physical and mental health. We encourage applications that offer innovative, creative, and skillful solutions to sharing a Buddhist view of basic well-being. Most of our applications come from Buddhist practitioners or groups. Examples of applications that may be well-received include:
- A Buddhist center offering hospice service or training people in end-of-life care
- A project using art or performance therapy in a group setting
- Doing outreach and social work for people in need
- Using Buddhist concepts to help people struggling with addiction
- A program to visit schools and talk to young people about managing their emotions in difficult times
- Developing a Buddhist chaplaincy curriculum
- A Buddhist center hosting an informal event for the local community
- A project to offer a group meditation program in a prison setting
- Starting a Buddhist-based depression and anxiety support group
- Using pastoral counselling to help people meet their challenges
- A program introducing families to meditation
