Tofu Project
 
Dear Friends,

His Holiness the Dalai Lama has always encouraged us to care for all beings. In the past several years, His Holiness has even requested the monks and nuns to refrain from eating meat. Traditionally, monks and nuns would eat food that had been offered to them, including meat. Geshe Ngawang Dakpa, a spiritual teacher at Tse Chen Ling Center in San Francisco, has noticed that more and more monks at Sera Jey Monastery, in India, have become vegetarian. He feels, if the monks had fresh tofu to eat each day, it would provide them with the good protein source they need.

Because of this, Arjia Rinpoche, the founder of the Tibetan Center for Compassion and Wisdom, and a group of Dharma friends in the San Francisco Bay Area started to work on this "Tofu Project". These funds will provide for large scale tofu production at Tibetan monasteries throughout India, Nepal, and Bhutan.


Your donation makes a precious connection between you and thousands of ordained monks and nuns in this life and future lives.

The Tibetan Center for Compassion and Wisdom is a non-profit organization. All donations are tax deductible.

Please make all checks payable to TCCW, for "Tofu Project":
