At Changchub choeling, every project is
a sacred act a commitment to honoring the wisdom of the past and embracing the possibilities of
tomorrow. Each brick laid, each book purchased, each tree planted is an investment in transformation,
hope, and the future of Tibetan Buddhist culture.

Changchub
choeling Library & Learning Centre

Bridging Ancient Wisdom and Modern
Knowledge

Imagine a space where centuries-old Buddhist scriptures sit alongside the latest textbooks in
quantum physics. Where debates on philosophy happen in one room while chemistry experiments
unfold in another.

This revolutionary academic wing will transform how our nuns learn, preparing them to
navigate both timeless Buddhist truths and modern world challenges.

Target Completion: December
2026

Gonkhang
(Protector Shrine) Restoration

Preserving 332 Years of Sacred Art
and Heritage

Our Gonkhang is a living repository of spiritual power and cultural memory. Built on the site
where Mahasiddha Hari meditated in the 15th century and blessed by His Holiness the 5th
Dalai Lama.

This sacred shrine houses ancient statues of Chakrasamvara, Hevajra, four-armed Mahakala, the
lion-faced Dakini, and the magnificent thousand-armed Avalokiteshvara.

Residential Expansion &
Infrastructure

Creating Safe, Dignified Homes for Our Nuns

From Barren Land to Flourishing
Community

When our eldest nuns first arrived decades ago, there were no proper accommodations just
barren land and makeshift shelters. Today, each nun has two small rooms providing privacy
and dignity.

But our work is far from complete.

Urgent Status

Young girls are on a waiting list we cannot accept them due to
space constraints. Winters reach -20°C/-4°F.

Housing

10-15 additional residential units, renovation,
improved insulation, solar heating systems

Utilities

Expanded water purification, solar panels for
sustainable electricity, backup generators

Communal Facilities

Upgraded kitchen, expanded dining hall, healthcare
room, common areas
