About Us

With the assistance of monks from Gyudmed Monastery and support from American friends, Lobsang Tsering founded
and created Tibetan Living Communities in 2000; a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to the improvement of
education and healthcare for Tibetans. Along with donations from a variety of sources, funds have been raised during
the Art of Compassion international tours with Gyumed monks. Over 97% of funds support projects benefitting the
​Tibetan people in Tibet and India.
