  • Yearly Reports

    We have supported and educated abused girls, and are helping villagers manage a collapsed economy. We have conducted teachings, translations and pujas. We bridge between Australia and Sri Lanka.

  • Dharma Activities

    Anuradhapura, Colombo, Kandy, anywhere we can help, we conduct teachings, retreats and regular pujas. You can read about some here.

  • Helping Villagers

    We have mounted a small scale helping hand to local villagers near Anuradhapura. That has included food, cows, education, roof repairs, and education for the children helping struggling local monks.

Tara Lanka follows the lineage and teachings of His Holiness the Dalai Lama under the guidance of Kabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche.

Although we are very small and only funded by the generosity of a few individuals, Tara Lanka offers the Sanskrit-based teachings of the Buddha in Sri Lanka, freely and to the best of our ability.

Our aim is to awaken compassion and wisdom in people’s hearts by treading the path laid down by the Buddha himself.

If you would like to contribute in any way, or make an enquiry, please contact Venerable Ani Lekdron via Contact Us.

There is no physical “centre” —at the moment— as all activity relies entirely on the work of Venerable Tenzin Lekdron (Maniyo) and a small team of students who volunteer their time and effort to help others.

Maniyo is a Tibetan lineage FPMT nun ordained in India by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. She follows the guidance of FPMT and her spiritual Teacher, Lama Thubten Zopa Rinpoche. She has no financial income from FPMT but is sustained by a small number of overseas supporters and by her own savings.

Venerable Lekdron currently works remotely from the Great Stupa in Australia. Her main focus in Sri Lanka is on encouraging purification practices (Tara, Medicine Buddha, recitations of the Golden Light Sutra) new Singhala translations of important Dharma texts, Non-Violent Communication and helping women to rescue themselves.

Maniyo’s teaching style is direct and uncomplicated; people find it helpful that they can ask questions that are relevant to their life and then have them answered in a straight-forward way. Venerable Lekdron has been invited to international Buddhist conferences in the East.
