Foundation
Padma Pura Foundation
Padma Pura Foundation supports the Dharma activity of Lama Tenzin Samphel Rinpoche in the Netherlands.
Through practical organisation, communication and volunteer support, the foundation helps create the conditions for Rinpoche’s visits, teachings, transmissions and practice activities.
Our purpose
Padma Pura Foundation exists to support Rinpoche’s Dharma activity in the Netherlands and to help make it possible for students to receive his teachings and guidance and to practise together.
Its role is practical and supportive: organising visits, facilitating teachings and transmissions, supporting practice activities and taking care of the conditions that allow these activities to take place.
How we work
Padma Pura Foundation is supported by a small group of people in the Netherlands who take care of the practical organisation around Rinpoche’s Dharma activity.
This includes coordinating visits, communication, practice activities, accommodation and other practical support. Much of this work is carried by volunteers and students who contribute their time and skills where needed.
Activities we support
The foundation supports Rinpoche’s annual visits to the Netherlands, teachings and transmissions, and practice activities including Tsog, Tsetar and Gutor.
