Support and Participation

Sponorship opportunities are no longer available.

The Organizing Committee for Kalachakra 2011 Washington, DC expresses its deep gratitude to those who have generously supported this Kalachakra through becoming sponsors at various levels. Your kind and generous support has enabled us to subsidize important aspects of the Kalachakra project, including offering free tickets and meals to the Sangha members during the entire Kalachakra period.

We also take this opportunity to assure you that, once all the expenses are accounted for and if there are any funds leftover, these will be clearly stated in the financial report to be read on the final day of the teachings. Since His Holiness the Dalai Lama never accepts remunerations for teachings and lectures, all remaining funds will be utilized towards local and international charitable causes on the basis of consultation with His Holiness.

Individual and Organizational Sponsors

With heartfelt gratitude, on behalf of the Kalachakra Organizing Committee and all who are able to attend this Kalachakra, we invite you to join us in acknowledging the generosity and kindness of our Kalachakra sponsors.
