Donate

JTCL Calgary is a registered Canadian charity. Donations support the vital work of JTCL to bring insight and awareness of Tibetan Buddhism teachings to a growing community.

We rely on the generosity of our Sangha to bring H.H. The Dalai Lama’s vision of one human family to life for the benefit of all sentient beings. Your charitable gifts help us provide access to teachings, retreats, and work towards our permanent temple.

One great way you can support us is by becoming a regular donor. You can choose the amount and frequency of your recurring gift. Even a modest gift of $15 or $25 a month would be a big help. See below for more information.

Alternative Donation Options

    • Cheques and money orders can be made out to “Jam Tse Cho Ling Tibetan”
  3. Offerings after teaching, special event or Teacher’s Blessing
