Adoption of Monks
The help of the Association also reaches, through the long distance adoption of monks, various Tibetan Buddhist monasteries in Tibet/China, India and Nepal. Here the precious and ancient spiritual, cultural, artistic and medical traditions are preserved and propagated: a heritage for the whole of humanity. It is within the walls of these monasteries that many young children also find the possibility to study according to their own culture and tradition. But, these monasteries are extremely poor: there is no money to ensure decent food, to buy medicine, clothes, shoes or books.
The buildings, even when newly built, are often extremely precarious and are always in need of repairs to the roof, walls and windows due to the extreme and harsh climate of Tibet.
Through the adoption of a monk – child or adult – a very beautiful human relationship can be developed, and these monasteries with their ancient traditions are helped to survive.
