Kopan Nunnery

About Me

.
In 1982 Lama Yeshe invited the first nuns to join Kopan Monastery and study with the monks, quite a revolutionary proposal at that time.
The Kopan Nunnery was officially founded in 1986 under the direction of Lama Thubten Zopa Rinpoche, and in 1994, 80 nuns moved into their own premises. The Khachoe Ghakyil Nunnery is located near Kopan Monastery at the sacred Buddhist town of Boudhanath in Nepal's Kathmandu valley and is now home to some 390 Tibetan Buddhist Nuns.

THEY NEED YOUR HELP!
The nuns at present live in extremely cramped conditions,
sometimes 7 per room, resulting in constant sickness.
100 New Rooms Are Needed URGENTLY!
PLEASE DONATE NOW!
Even a Dollar will help...

My Interests

I'd like to meet:


Plans have been drawn up for the building of a 100 room hostel including a gompa, a new dining hall and classrooms.
Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche has advised that the main deity statue in the gompa should be thousand-armed Chenrezig (Avalokiteshvara), 18 feet high.
Some funds for the new buildings have been received through the generosity of donors. Still, a lot more is needed.
We invite you to help with the finances for the new buildings, or donate to the Chenrezig statue, with as much or as little as you would like.
See our "Ways to help" page for information on how to make donations to the building fund of the nunnery, or use this link here to donate to the nunnery building fund.
