Lama Tendar - help that arrives!
Who is known by the gemstone mandala in the Osterholz also among our customers Lama Tendar is not only active as a spiritual teacher, but dedicates part of his time and strength to the support of the weakest in society. A special concern for Lama Tendar is the help for a group of about 300 exiled Tibetans, who have fled their homeland and now live in the "Tibetian Refugee Holy Cave Manali Tashijon" in Rewalsar in northern India; these are mainly families with young children, young people and elderly nuns and priests.

For the attendance of the school - important basis for a self-determined life from own strength - often lacks the money. With 45,000 rupees (about 570 €) per year can be for a child the complete school education, ie books, notebooks, pens,
a simple uniform and school fees, are paid.
Uprooting from their homeland and separation from family and friends are additional burdens for the refugees; their legal status is also uncertain, as India still has no legal provisions for refugees. This
makes it difficult for refugees to find a job; in addition, their difficult situation is often exploited by employers and only very low wages are paid. Medical care is also usually not provided.
Further support projects of Lama Tendar are the monastery Tashijon and the nunnery Manali, where mainly money for medical treatments of the old nuns and monks, but often also for food and drink is missing.
Lama Tendar, who himself was brought to India as a young child by his mother from the Kham region (eastern Tibet) via the Himalayas, has been associated with Tibetian Refugee Holy Cave and its residents for many decades, and during his travels collects

The association "Licht für Tibet e.V." also offers the possibility to take over sponsorships for individual people. Here, too, there is a need for action, since due to unemployment and changes in the family situation of the sponsors, some are no longer able to support "their" refugee. Also, 100% of the money from the sponsorships goes to the people on site; the costs for the annual trip to India are borne privately by the respective association members.
Summer 2019: Lama Tendar to visit Ludwigsburg
.
At the First Easterwood Festival, there was an opportunity to participate in various meditations and learn exercises in mindfulness with Lamar Tendar.
This offer was free of charge, but certainly not in vain - both for one's own spiritual development and thanks to numerous donations for the Tibetan refugees. So a total of 3888 € for the social work of Lama Tendar were donated.
For this we would like to thank - also in the name of Lama Tendar - all customers, visitors and co-exhibitors who made this large amount possible!
