Ani ( Yogini) Bhim Suwa Gurung

Chairperson

As a nun with over 20 years of experience in Buddhism and community service, I am excited to announce the establishment of Guru Rimpochhe Trust, a new chapter in my journey of serving humanity. My discussions with esteemed Gurus from Thailand, China, and Nepal have inspired me to expand my efforts through a more institutional approach.

With this vision, I founded Guru Rimpochhe Trust to transform the aspirations of our Gurus and the spirit of Buddha into reality through collective action. We are committed to creating an Old Age Home for Buddhist monks and devotees. In this sanctuary, individuals can immerse themselves in the ambiance of Buddhism and experience a sacred way of life.

Transparency is at the core of our operations; all funds will be utilized as per our directives and plans. On behalf of Guru Rimpochhe Trust, I invite all Gurus, organizations, and individuals to join us in this mission. Together, we can make a meaningful impact on the lives of those in need.

Your thoughts, suggestions, and inquiries are invaluable to us, and we promise to address them with the utmost respect. Together, let us realize the change we wish to see in the world.

With heartfelt devotion,

Ani (Yogini) Bhim Suwa Gurung
Chairperson
Guru Rimpochhe Trust
