Blue Beryl Dharma Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Your donations will help support our programs, projects, and charitable activities.

Tashi Kyil Monastery, a Tibetan Buddhist monastery located in Dehra Dun, India, is seriously affected by a lack of funds. BBDC, since its inception, has made recurring donations to Tashi Kyil, which has helped them to continue to perform traditional annual prayers such as Monlam Chenmo, drill a much-needed tube well, and build a kitchen and dining hall, a guest house, and a World Peace Stupa. Lama Lobsang lived, worked and studied at Tashi Kyil Monastery in Amdo, Tibet, and in exile at Dehra Dun. Tashi Kyil and Lama Lobsang greatly appreciate your helpful donations.

Blue Beryl Dharma Center regularly supports the Tibetan Children's Village, a school and orphanage for Tibetan refugee children in india. BBDC has a history of supporting Tibetan organizations such as TCV and the International Campaign for Tibet. BBDC raised $750.00 for ICT at its "Compassionate Healing" fundraiser at Bhakti Yoga and Retreat Center in New Milford, CT on May 17, 2009.

BBDC also supports the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians. This community has been devasted by substance abuse, and the GTB Substance Abuse Program is developing a trail in honor of two young girls who were killed in a tragic accident involving alcohol. The Twyla Shomin/ Michelle Priest Foundation trail, a safe path for families and children, symbolizes walking a healthy, drug-free life, promoting the physical, spiritual and emotional well-being of the community. BBDC supports this effort in thanks to the GTB for their hospitality during summer retreats held on GTB land.
