Supporting the Children at Pema T’sal Monastery

Boys from rural areas of Nepal are brought to the Pema T’sal Monastery when they are very young by their parents or guardians. Once they are accepted into the monastery, they can rarely see their parents except for special occasions such as New Year’s Day. Not many children get to enjoy such visits due to economic hardship or some other family problems. So, some children go several years without seeing their parents. Currently 150 boys including resident staff are living in the temple.
