IRS990ScheduleF/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The Nyingma Institute was founded in 1972 by the Head Lama of the Tibetan Nyingma Meditation Center to present the teachings of the Tibetan Buddhism tradition to western students. Nyingma Centers is a 501(c)(3) domestic organization that was founded by the Head Lama in 1973 to disseminate Tibetan Buddhism and to administer educational programs on the tenets, principles, practices and rituals of Tibetan Nyingma Buddhism throughout the world, particularly through four related centers in Germany, the Netherlands, and two in Brazil. The Institute helps support these centers through a monthly pledge to Nyingma Centers, and monitors their program accomplishments and use of funds through regular reports and an annual, week-long meeting that takes place in July, attended by representatives of the Nyingma Institute, Nyingma Centers, and each foreign educational center.
