About The Gyalwang Drukpa:
The Gyalwang Drukpa is the spiritual head of the Drukpa Buddhist Lineage originating in Tibet. He has advanced peace, gender equality, education, medical aid and resources, and environmental awareness for decades through numerous large-scale humanitarian efforts in the Himalayas. Outside of the Himalayas, Drukpa organizations across the world serve regional needs through community-tailored “Live to Love” activities, ranging from tree-plantings, to organizing free medical clinics, to feeding the homeless. Drukpa centers are currently active in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Switzerland, Monaco, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan, Australia, Peru, Mexico, and the United States.
