Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. 

For the past few years, I have developed a love for running and have completed many half marathons and 4 full marathons including the "London Marathon 2020". Running a marathon especially London Marathon has always been a “bucket list” dream for me. But Lelung Dharma Trust is making my dream a reality. 

“Today the world has many problems. It is full of miss understanding and conflict. The Buddha taught that all the sentient beings are equal and we should not harm one another, no matter our background or religion. He went even further to say that we must extend our compassion even if someone hates us” ~Lelung Rinpoche 

I would like to run for the Lelung Dharma Trust’s Geden Phacho Bhucho Project supporting the preservation of Buddhism in general and Lama Tsongkhapa’s tradition.

Lama Tsongkhapa was a famous teacher of Tibetan Buddhism and 2019 marked 600 years since his passing.  He made a very significant impact on the development of Buddhism in Tibet and his influence also extended to Mongolia and China.   

I would like to show my gratitude for his beneficial teachings which were of great benefit to Mongolia as well as Tibet and I hope I can reach my target of £1500 which will help preserve Lama Tsongkhapa’s teachings and Buddhism in general. 

H.E. The 11th Lelung Tulku founded the Lelung Dharma Trust  www.lelung.org in 2000. It’s primary aim was the restoration and preservation of ancient Tibetan Buddhist texts and teachings which were in danger of being lost forever following the cultural revolution in Tibet.

Since then many teachings have been preserved and the complete works of the great master, the 5th Lelung, Zhepai Dorje, are in the process of being printed and published in volumes and are now two thirds complete.

At this time of great conflict in our world, fear and instability are rife. These precious Buddhist teachings hold the format for a happier life and for bringing peace and happiness to our hearts, our minds, our families, our communities and, ultimately, the world.   To this end, the Shide Peace Project, www.shide-peace.org, was conceived by Lelung Rinpoche. 

His Holiness the Dalai Lama has given his blessing to the work of the Trust and there is still much work to do.
