Honorary Benefactors

2,500 years ago, Buddha found a path to break free from samsara. In order for all beings to have the same achievement, after turning the dharma wheel thrice, Buddha left a pure stream of dharma.

2,500 years later, Great Wisdom Buddhist Institute has received this pure lineage, cultivating numerous young and talented monastics, who will increase global awareness of Buddhist teachings in the near future.
