About Our Ongoing Work

The preservation and publishing of all the works of the Vajra Regent are the result of long hours of dedicated work in conservation, archiving, digitizing, transcribing, editing, and administering the Vajra Regent Ösel Tendzin Library. This work has gone forward under the leadership of Lady Lila Rich, the Library & Archives director, and a steering committee of volunteers. A generous but small group of supporters have provided some necessary funds for preserving the core collection of audio and video recordings in digital format. And, since the Vajra Regent’s parinirvana in 1990, more than 100 students have volunteered their time in the ongoing transcribing of the collected teachings of the Vajra Regent.

​

We have built the foundation of the Library & Archives’ holdings and resources, and in order to go forward and share these brilliant teachings more widely, we need to create an energetic and broad base of support. 

​

We invite and encourage your participation. We greatly appreciate donations of any amount. All donations are tax-deductible and can be set up as automatic monthly withdrawals through our website. As a supporter, you will receive regular updates on the activities of the Library & Archives.

Thank You!!
