Namchak Foundation

Namchak Foundation offers learning opportunities in tibetan buddhist practice for students at every level, from beginners to experienced practitioners. The Foundation's programming includes numerous online courses, community based learning circles, livestream teachings, and retreats. The Foundation employs ten individuals to carry out its e&o program and is supported by the volunteer work of the lineage's lamas, including linda pritzker (lama tsomo), tenzin Namchak (rinpoche), and other tibetan lamas, who teach both online and in person. The Foundation hosted 30 one time events in 2023 that attracted approximately 1,551 participants. Reocurring programs and courses were attended by approximately 156 participants.

The Namchak Foundation supports the creation and distribution of the sacred texts and other published materials, cds and other objects used in the study and/or practice of the Namchak lineage. Through its five translator employees, the Foundation produces translations of the lineage's sacred text from tibetan into english chantable verse, translations of related commentaries, and biographies of lineage gurus. In 2023, the team produced and completed five books; 10 books were still in progress as of the end of the year.
