Nitartha is not just an institute, it is a training ground, a training ground of wisdom…we are not only studying the words of the Buddha and his disciples, but we are also learning how to think clearly and how to act compassionately.
Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche at the 2025 Summer Institute Benefit Event

Thanks to the generosity of our community, Nitartha continues to provide our unique teachings in different languages and to all those who can benefit from our courses, regardless of their financial situation.

That’s why we ask for your help on Giving Tuesday, to keep expanding our ability to offer our courses and programs to increasingly more lucky students!

By giving to our 2025 Giving Tuesday campaign, you will help in three ways:

Wheel of Activity
Your donation will be used to help the Institute continue to:

• Create another superb hybrid container for the next Summer Institute by increasing our summer staffing capacities
• Support ongoing semester courses 
• Coordinate the transcribing and publication of Nitartha’s precious teachings
• Maintain our administrative and technological processes
• Reach increasingly more students with improved marketing strategies

Financial Assistance

This year, we have provided over $30,000 in financial assistance so that all students could attend our courses and purchase our texts, regardless of their financial resources. Your donation will also help us replenish this fund, enabling Nitartha to stay healthy while making it possible for all those who wish to take our courses to practice and study with us.

Translations

We have a growing and vibrant Chinese-speaking student body! Your donation will also be used to produce Chinese translations of our texts so that our Chinese-speaking students can progress through the Nitartha curriculum.

I want to say that if Nitartha has managed to leave even a small spot in your heart, please help us keep the lights on for you, for others and for the future generations. Thank you.
