Geshe Tsewang Dorje with 3 Tibetan Monks will create a Tibetan Sand Mandala over a 5 day period in support of the Ngari Institute in the Himalayan region of Ladakh India. In addition to the creation of the Mandala , there will be lectures, hands on art demonstrations, and social events.

Ngari Institute is an educational nongovernmental organization (NGO) based in the Himalayan Kingdom of Ladakh, and the campus is spread over 20 hectares (49 acres) of desert land, which was eventually turned into an oasis of learning that incorporates modern education along with ancient Tibetan studies and culture.

NIBD came into being in 2007 under the leadership of Geshe Tsewang Dorje (the Geshe degree is equivalent to a PhD in Buddhist Philosophy). We began with construction of the boys’ and girls’hostels, the library, and the primary classroom. Later, we built the multipurpose community hall, guest rooms, the monks’ hostel, and the temple within the campus.

In 2010, the first block of the children’s hostel was completed, and we registered 25 children (18
girls and 7 boys) aged between 5 and 10 years old. The number of children we have registered to
date is over 150 students studying within the campus and in other colleges and universities.
Children’s Background and Educational Opportunities NIBD provides free education and accommodations to the underprivileged children and young monks of the Ladakh region. We also pay education fees for the students who are continuing their studies in colleges and universities. We serve the following students:
Orphans
Children with single parents
Children from poor families with many children
Children from low- or no-income families
Young novice monks in training
Occasional Dharma Teaching, Meditation & Retreat for General Public

The aims of the Great Compassion Mandala Tour are sharing the rich Himalayan culture, exchanging
religious views between the different cultures, and bringing compassion to humanity. Monks will
also guide attendees in meditation and chanting for world peace.
