Tergar is committed to making the benefits of Buddhist teachings and practices available to everyone.

We offer financial assistance rates for certain countries, for students with limited budgets, and for the monastic community.
In the Path of Liberation, all the teachings are given step by step. There are five levels, all of which explore the unity of awareness, love and compassion, and wisdom, which is within you and is what we call the “nature of mind.” By doing that, if you really practice again and again, then it becomes a deeper spiritual journey. And in the end, it can lead you to full enlightenment.
