Gaden for the West
Gaden for the West is an international organization of Venerable Zasep Tulku Rinpoche, his students, and meditation centers, created for the express purpose of bringing, interpreting and integrating Gelugpa Tibetan Buddhism to the western world. Venerable Zasep Tulku Rinpoche created this vehicle to make Gelugpa Tibetan Buddhism accessible to as many people as possible. People in the west are different from Tibetans in their culture, customs and psychology. Western minds need the teachings of Buddha presented from a different point of view.

Gaden Relief Projects
Helping to preserve Tibetan culture in India, Mongolia and Tibet. Gaden Relief has become famous for channelling medicine and funds to the Tibetan refugee community-in-exile and monasteries in Tibet, India, and Mongolia despite its modest size. Gaden Relief has raised over $500,000 in donations, of which over 95% reached Tibetans and Mongolians in the form of direct aid. Our very low overhead is possible because volunteers run us 100%.
