Future Projects

Here are some of Arik Gyatrul Rinpoche's future projects.

Building More Schools

Rinpoche plans to build more schools to reproduce the success of the Dzogchen Elementary School in places where there are large Tibetan populations. This will improve people’s quality of life, as well as the depth and level of their thinking. This will make the students more compassionate, pure minded and wise. Cultural and educational standards will make the students more employable.

Tibetan Arts and Cultural Center

Currently a Tibetan painting class is opened to the public and is held at the Dzogchen Elementary School. In the future, a Tibetan Arts and Cultural Training Center will be built to produce a new generation of Tibetan artisans.

Traditional Tibetan painting, carving, dancing, singing and playing of musical instruments will be taught at the center. The instruments are currently stored at Dzogchen Elementary School.

The Tibetan Arts and Cultural Training Center will also feature advanced Tibetan courses to correct the widespread misuse of grammar and incorrect spelling. This will advance the standard of modern Tibetan Literature.
