The Raktrul Foundation

Visit Us on FaceBook

The Venerable Bardor Tulku Rinpoche established The Raktrul Foundation as a 501-c-3 non-profit organization in 2000 in Red Hook, New York, USA.

This all volunteer charity is dedicated to improving the lives of Tibetan people. Our projects include medical missions, solar power projects, meeting the educational needs of village children and assistance to the elderly. You can help.

The Raktrul Foundation teams have successfully completed many missions to Tibet, and are now planning a return in the Summer of 2012. The About Us and Mission pages will provide more information on these efforts. We thank you for your generous support. Visit our Donations Page to see how to help.

Read letters of support for the activity of Bardor Tulku Rinpoche and Raktrul from His Holiness the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa (in English) and His Eminence Tai Situ Rinpoche. The spiritual activity endorsed in these letters of reference is carried out by the members of Kunzang Palchen Ling.

Tibetan orphans and children receive warm clothing, medical and dental care each year from Raktrul Foundation.

Many Tibetan people we serve have never seen a doctor.

Elder Care & Eyeglasses »
For many elders, the harsh climate exacerbates vision problems. Reading or sunglasses can bring such joy, and improved quality of life! Thanks so the Lion's Club for their support this year.
