Monks Welfare Programme (Sponsored by Chokgyur Lingpa Foundation)
The Monk’s Welfare Fund currently helps support 80 monks ranging from 7 to 40 years of age with an average age of 13. The monks are distributed over two monasteries; Vajra Varahi Monastery located in Lalitpur, on the outskirt of the Kathmandu Valley and Riwoche Monastery in Boudhanath, Kathmandu.

Vajra Varahi Health Clinic
On 11 th November 2008, Vajra Varahi Healthcare opened it's headquarters and clinic in Chapagaon in the Kathmandu Valley. Built with the support of students it is staffed by paid Nepali staff and overseas volunteers. It is headed by H.H. Phakchok Rinpoche.

Reviving Taklung Kagyu
Because of the restrictions put on the Riwoche Monastery and Shedra in Tibet by the communist Chinese government, monks began to leave Tibet. As there was no Riwoche Monastery for them to go to in Nepal or India, they scattered to various Buddhist monasteries in India to attend shedra, monastic college. The Venerable Khenpo Sonam Rinpoche set up the sponsorship program to support them in their studies, and make it possible for them to keep their monastic aspirations.
