Buddhist Digital Resource Center

Two days ago in Thimphu, our delegation had the privilege of participating in this remarkable gathering. The turnout exceeded all expectations; monks who traveled hours from their monasteries, nuns, government officials, and scholars, all coming together around a shared commitment to preserving and sharing knowledge. For BDRC, this feels like a renewal of our deep ties with Bhutan, bonds first forged by our founder E. Gene Smith nearly six decades ago, and we look forward to building on the many connections made this week. Deep thanks to the Loden Foundation for hosting with such warmth and vision.
We also thank the sponsor of our eye-opening 2 week trip to Bhutan, the Ngawang Choephel Fellows Program.🙏
