Assistant

To work here is of immense value and boundless benefit for all beings!

The Lama Dorje Foundation is the heart of Lama Dorje’s global aspiration for peace. To work on his team is a unique opportunity to accelerate your spiritual growth while being of service to something greater than ourselves. This can be a powerful catalyst for transformation and is a precious chance to use your life energy in a profoundly meaningful and beneficial way to benefit others.

We are in the beginning stages of building Dewachen World Peace Sanctuary in Costa Rica, while also hosting year round online and in-person events. This makes for a demanding schedule yet the blessings of working for the Dharma are tremendous.
