Ways to Support Wisdom

Featured Project

Since launching the Wisdom Podcast, we’ve brought you powerful conversations with some of the most esteemed voices in Buddhism.

From His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche to teachers like Sharon Salzberg, Ajahn Brahm, and Shohaku Okumura Roshi, each episode offers teachings on mindfulness, compassion, and wisdom that resonate across generations and traditions.

Now, as we celebrate the release of our 200th episode this December, we’re asking you to support this ongoing journey.

Help us continue to bring the voices of Buddhist teachers and thinkers into the world by giving a gift of $2, $20, $200, or $2,000 in celebration of our 200th episode. Every contribution, big or small, directly supports the production of new episodes and helps us share these teachings with thousands of listeners worldwide.

Join us in celebrating 200 episodes of wisdom, and let’s keep the conversation going.

Become a Library of Tibetan Classics Benefactor

The Library of Tibetan Classics is one of Wisdom’s major and exciting efforts to support Tibetan culture.

The Library makes key Tibetan texts part of the global literary and intellectual heritage. The works included span more than a millennium and cover the vast expanse of classical Tibetan knowledge—from the core teachings of the specific schools to such diverse fields as ethics, philosophy, linguistics, medicine, social and civic responsibilities, folklore, and history.

If it is within your means, we invite you to consider joining the inspired community of the Library of Tibetan Classics Benefactors.

With a donation or pledge of $2,000 or more, you will become a Benefactor, and your name will be listed in all future volumes of the series. You will receive a gift copy of each of the future volumes as they become available and will be able to purchase the previously published volumes at a 50% discount. Become a Library of Tibetan Classics Benefactor now!

“I am very happy to welcome the initiatives of the Institute of Tibetan Classics, especially its ambitious Library of Tibetan Classics. This collection will help make Tibet’s classical thought truly a world heritage, an intellectual and spiritual resource open to all.”—His Holiness the Dalai Lama
