The Pemakö ProjectPreserving Tibet’s Oldest Spiritual Treasure - …And educating children for the modern world
At heart of ThePemakö Project activities is the LhundrüpTopgyé
Ling School.Pemakö is located in the Arunachal Pradesh (Land of the
Rising Sun) region of northeastern India and Tibet, in the eastern Himalayan
region. It borders India to the southwest, Bhutan to the west, Burma to
the east and Tibet/China on the north and northeast. The terrain includes
much diversity— everything from snowcapped mountains, and open plains,
to densely vegetated jungle. Ven Lopon P Ogyan Tanzin Rinpoche was born
and brought up in this region as was HH Dudjom Rinpoche... Ven. Lopon P Ogyan Rinpoche has designed a curriculum based on traditional academic and yogic training that has been studied and practiced for nearly 2,000 years. Also important is the preparation of children for the modern world with a grounding in Maths, English and Sciences. Rinpoche offers over 15 years of teaching experience at the Institute for Higher Tibetan Studies and is founder of The Bodhicitta Centre, a social welfare organization that has successfully assisted many Tibetan refugees in the Pemakö region. THE PEMAKÖ PROJECT IS UNIQUE
Offering aid to those who would otherwise be missed: Because the Pemakö region is remote, little aid reaches the Tibetan refugee populations and the region is often ignored. Girls are generally denied education in order to baby-sit younger children while parents work the fields. The Pemakö Project has opened a day care centre that makes education a real choice for young girls for the first time. Cultural preservation means cultural diversity:
Sadly, despite the best of intentions, large-scale relief efforts often
overlook smaller but vital aspects of an endangered culture. The Lhundrüp
Topgyé Ling School is the only school working to save the Gö-kar-chang-lo’i-dé
tradition within the exiled Tibetan community. Dylan Esler has recently visited Pemakö with Ven Lopon P Ogyan Tanzin Rinpoche. You can download his account of the pilgrimage here and view the photos he took of his journey and his time there here.
Rarely does the opportunity exist to turn immediately lives around for
so many children. Our goal is to enable Rinpoche to maintain his commitment
to the children and families who view the Lhundrüp Topgyé
Ling School as a miracle. For more information pleasecontact pemakoinformation@nyingma.com.
