The land surrounding Chenrezig Institute, once overgrazed and barren, has been transformed into a thriving forest by dedicated members and locals. Walking through the grounds, you can feel the harmonious coexistence of people, animals, and the majestic trees.

On this Earth Day, three GTI team members came together to write this article in honour of the amazing planet we get to call home.

We counted on the insightful participation of 3 different speakers and all those who presented questions and contributed to the discussion. The recording is now available!

We are coming together next March 21! Register below! In an online event, we will hear from three speakers who have been, in their own ways, dedicating their energy and time to reforesting different parts of our planet.

“All religions offer help to humanity. Especially when facing difficult situations, all religions offer hope. Therefore, we must respect all religions.”

“It was very fortunate to have some very energetic and committed Tibetan students that had heard about the planting project of the Tibetan Children Village (TCV) in Leh Ladakh, inspired by the Dalai Lama during his last visit to Ladakh. The Dalai Lama wanted to see more green in the area, as the Dalai Lama’s commitment to the environment is well known.”

Last month, our founder, Tenzin Ösel Hita, visited our Global Tree Initiative (GTI) communities in New Zealand and in Australia, where he led Habit Alignment Key (HAK) retreats.

As we enter the final week of 2023, we are happy to present these numbers, inspired and made possible by YOU, our Global Tree Initiative (GTI) community!
