Sang-ngak-chö-dzong

Sang-ngak-chö-dzong is the UK charity of the Aro gTér and supports the preservation of Buddhist teachings according to the Nyingma Tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.

The name Sang-ngak-chö-dzong was given to us by Kyabjé Düd'jom Rinpoche specifically for our work of establishing the non-celibate householder tradition of Tibetan Buddhism in the West.

Sang-ngak-chö-dzong (also known as SNCD) holds UK Charity Number 1181153. Its constitution was adopted on 20th February 1993. In 2018, it was incorporated as a charitable company in order to purchase Drala Jong. Before being incorporated, it was UK Charity Number 1019886.

The charitable purposes of the Charity are to advance the Vajryana Buddhist religion, in particular but not exclusively the Aro Lineage of the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. Its activities include running a retreat centre, supporting teaching events, promoting the non-monastic ordained Ngak'phang tradition in the West, and supporting Tibetan Lamas in exile.

Charity records are available from the Charity Commision.
