Dharma Publishing Fund

"How beautiful it is
to bring others happiness in this life
and share with them
the methods for happy future lives."

- H.E. Tsem Rinpoche -
A Seed Was Planted

Understanding and practising the Buddha's teachings can literally transform your life for the better. Wanting others to benefit from these same teachings is also part and parcel of the Buddhist path. It's an expression of your compassion — to free others from their negative life situations through wisdom and self-transformation.

That's why it's said that those who teach the Dharma are practising the highest form of giving. If the perfect Buddha never spoke, there would be no path, no antidote, no method, no end and no recognition of the need to escape. Hence, teaching is THE method to give the most supreme of refuges which is the Dharma.

However, not all of us are able to teach the Dharma directly. Therefore, the next best alternative is to support the publication of Dharma texts and other printed materials.

Sponsoring the printing of Dharma books has been a mainstay of Buddhist practice for millennia. The benefits are vast — the immense merits collected from sponsoring Dharma publications is said to help increase lifespan, heal the body, reduce obstacles and problems, and create the necessary conditions to make a lasting positive change in life, both spiritually and secularly.

So be a part of something truly beneficial, support Kechara's Dharma Publishing Fund and gain the benefit of helping others on their spiritual journeys through a truly unique presentation of the Buddha's teachings. Every contribution is greatly appreciated – no matter how big or small.

Your sponsorship will be used for:

• Writing and composition of original content in English and Chinese
• Translation from English into multiple languages including Chinese, Tibetan, Nepali, Tamil and Hindi
• Translation of classic Tibetan texts into English and Chinese
• Costs of illustration, graphic design and layout
• Costs of printing and production
• The development of textbooks for Kechara's education programs

About Kechara's Books

Kechara publishes the precious teachings of H.E. Tsem Rinpoche — a prolific author whose commentaries and discourses on Buddhism have touched the hearts and changed the lives of thousands of people around the globe — as well as inspirational, motivational books authored by Rinpoche's students — talented up-and-coming authors who are equally committed to bringing the Buddha’s message of peace and wisdom to others.

Our publishing house also produces educational textbooks, practice guides of various Buddhist deities, prayer texts, illustrated guides, digital media content, and even comic books — all in multiple languages. Many of these are available for free distribution.

Collectively, our publications bring the essence of Buddha's ancient wisdom to many in a contemporary and applicable manner. It is our hope that reading and study, which encourages reflection and meditation, will serve as a powerful and inspiring method for healing and mind transformation — creating a shift from negative ways of thinking to positive, altruistic and compassionate attitudes.

By giving new perspectives through our books, it is our sincere wish that many more will not only reach out with heartfelt sincerity to help those less fortunate but more importantly, be closer, kinder, more compassionate and patient with their families, colleagues, loved ones and society at large.

We thank you in advance for supporting our cause of healing through reading.
