Inspiration from a spiritual master
Food for the Poor Nepal is a contribution to a wish expressed by Lama Gangchen Rinpoche in 1991. Food for the Poor Nepal is a project of the Mani Bhadra Lama Gangchen Wise Projects Foundation, a recognised non-profit foundation founded in the Netherlands in 2016 by Lama Gangchen Rinpoche.
Advice from a spiritual master
Pabongkha Rinpoche
In 2022, Jan de Ruiter, managing director of Mani Bhadra – Phoenix Import in the Netherlands, received advice from Pabongka Rinpoche to start distributing life-saving food to the poor living on the streets of Kathmandu. According to Pabongka Rinpoche, sponsoring food for the poor creates very positive karma, which helps to increase the lifespan of both the sponsor and the recipient.
