Title
Drepung Gomang Institute
Description
The Drepung Gomang Institute was established in 2000, and is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, working in cooperation with the monks of Drepung Gomang Monastic University.
Drepung Gomang Institute has two primary goals:
to help preserve the endangered Tibetan culture that leads a fragile existence in communities of exiled refugees living primarily in India and Nepal;
to offer the greater communities of Louisville, of Kentucky, and of the US, the opportunity to study and practice Tibetan Buddhist traditions and philosophy.
The Drepung Gomang Institute does not seek to convert individuals to the tenets of Tibetan Buddhism. As an organization, we follow the injunction from the Dalai Lama to monks who prepare to come to the West:
“You do not need to go make more Buddhists. We don’t need any more Buddhists. You should rather go and help make good people”.
