Tibetan Buddhist Charitable Aid, Inc.

a 501(c)3 charitable corporation

2009-2025

For the past 16 years we have raised funds through Tibetan Buddhist Charitable Aid (TBCA) for many of the humanitarian projects created and directed by Geshe Pema Dorjee. The projects are in remote Himalayan Nepal and India, and we have personally visited almost every one of them. We have verified that 100% of all donations have gone directly to the projects and to the people in need. Also, throughout these 16 years, we have had the great pleasure to sponsor all of Geshe Pema Dorjee's trips to the United States so that he could share his precious Buddhist teachings from New York to Miami and from Boston to San Francisco.

The time has come for us to transfer the fund-raising torch into the very capable hands of Dr. Isa Gucciardi and Laura Chandler at Sacred Stream. They are wise, wonderful, and warm, and they are dear friends of ours. More importantly they are dear friends of Geshe Pema Dorjee, and for many years they have helped him in countless ways. Geshe Pema Dorjee wants us to assure you that you can trust them with your donations.

Accordingly, future donations for Geshe Pema Dorjee's continuing humanitarian projects should be made by going to the Sacred Stream
donation page. Click on the "General Fund" dropdown menu and choose "Geshe Pema Dorjee's Humanitarian Projects."

Our heartfelt thanks go to the many compassionate donors who have contributed through TBCA during these past many years. Your generosity has truly helped to relieve suffering and to bring happiness to people in desperate need. We hope you will continue to support Geshe Pema Dorjee's projects by contributing through Sacred Stream.

Creating and maintaining TBCA has been an honor and a privilege. We are deeply grateful that we had this opportunity to be part of Geshe Pema Dorjee's life-long mission of relieving suffering and bringing health and happiness to so many people who live in rural Nepal and India where no other help was available. This unexpected adventure of ours, in the Himalayas and at home, not only helped Geshe Pema Dorjee and people in desperate need, but also it helped us. It opened our hearts and brought us a sense of meaning and great joy. Although we are closing the doors to TBCA, we will never close the doors to our hearts. We will continue in every way that we can to support Geshe Pema Dorjee and his mission of compassion to help those who are suffering.

Thank you!

Dr. Carol Blum Mackauf and Stephen H. Mackauf
