Ringu Tulku

The Bodhicharya Network is an interconnected network which connects people who need help and those who would like to give help, and it’s also a simply way to connect socially. We hope that it would soon become an organic network bringing people together and to make giving and receiving easy. This is particularly relevant in our fractured society where family often provides less support than in many other cultures.

The Bodhicharya Emblem (Top):

 

The three hand gestures clockwise from the top denote the teachings (dharma and meditation practice), generosity (giving, helping and sharing) and reaching across to others (communicating and building understanding).
