Mainpat, India. Meal time for the Tsori School Monks
In this rare radio interview recorded live at 55 KTSA Cyber City in San Antonio, Texas, H.H. Drubwang Tulku Tsori Dechen Rinpoche shares his wisdom on fasting, compassion, and meditation — and closes with a beautiful prayer for all sentient beings.
Rinpoche explains the spiritual meaning of fasting across traditions, his remarkable journey from Tibet to New York, Miami, and San Antonio, and why compassion drives everything he does.
The interview ends with Rinpoche reciting a heartfelt prayer:
"May all sentient beings obtain happiness and the causes of happiness. May they all be free of suffering and the causes of suffering." 🙏

Deep in Mainpat, India, 45 monks, 4 teachers, and 10 staff members are fed three times a day from a makeshift kitchen burning wood over open flames — in all weather, every single day.
This is their only kitchen.
We are raising funds to build a modern, enclosed kitchen worthy of the community H.H. Drubwang Tulku Tsori Dechen Rinpoche built from the ground up. Every dollar goes directly to the Tsori School for Tibetan Children at Mainpat Monastery.
🍚 59 people fed daily
🔥 3 meals cooked over wood-burning stoves
🏗️ Your gift builds something that lasts

Take a walking tour through Mainpat Monastery — home of the Tsori School for Tibetan Children in Chhattisgarh, India — and see firsthand what your support can make possible.
This video shows the monastery's most urgent needs:
🏗️ New dormitories for the monks
🍳 A modern kitchen and dining area
🌿 Landscaping to welcome visitors and pilgrims
Mainpat Monastery is also a destination for Buddhist tourists and pilgrims who visit the gift shop and request traditional prayer ceremonies. A more beautiful, welcoming monastery means more visitors — and more support for the 45 monks, 4 teachers, and 10 staff who call this sacred place home.
🙏 Help us honor the legacy of H.H. Drubwang Tulku Tsori Dechen Rinpoche by restoring and expanding this remarkable monastery.
