Membership

Drepung Loseling Institute is a non-profit tax exempt membership supported organization, dedicated to creating a place for learning and practice in the centuries-old Tibetan Buddhist tradition of wisdom and compassion. A center for the cultivation of both heart and intellect, it provides a sanctuary for the nurturance of inner peace and kindness, community understanding, and global healing.

We invite and welcome all who share this vision to join us in this endeavor by becoming members of Drepung Loseling Monastery at any level. Membership helps to support the ongoing Spiritual Development Programs offered to the community.
