Undoing the Busy Mind
An educational not-for-profit 501(c3) organization incorporated in New York State in 2024, Year of the Wood Dragon.
Khachod Dechenling Foundation
To broaden public knowledge of the Tibetan Buddhist contemplative tradition and showcase its power to mitigate the excesses of social media that are dumbing down American culture and inhibiting young minds in particular.
Our Intention
The national mental health crisis in the wake of Covid is severe and it is compelling more and more men and women to explore the nature of the mind. Khachod Dechenling Foundation offers support for individuals who want to learn how to tame their wild “monkey" mind, cut through self-deception, and abide in equanimity. By engaging in introspection and developing the skillful, compassionate means that Tibetan Buddhist masters embody, we discover the lightness of being— pure awareness— free of bias and aggression. In these upside down, hyperbolic times, what could be more relevant and healing?
