Welcome to The Pema Chödrön Foundation. As you may know, Pema’s deepest wish is to support the tradition of Buddhist monastic life in the west. Monastic life is centered on deep training within a community of others who have committed themselves to actualizing the dignity and wisdom that is the human inheritance of all. The Pema Chödrön Foundation has been created to help make this a reality. Pema’s ‘home monastery’, Gampo Abbey exemplifies the beauty and profundity that such contemplative community can offer the western world, and all who come in contact with it.
On this site you can learn more about Pema, Gampo Abbey and the vision of the Pema Chödrön Foundation.
