Kechara is a progressive spiritual organisation that seeks to create a conscious community that comes together in service of others. Founded in 2000 by His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche of Gaden Shartse Monastery, our spiritual community comprises of people from diverse backgrounds, different age groups and different parts of the world.
From our humble beginnings as a single retail outlet, Kechara has evolved to meet the varying needs, interests and aptitudes of the modern spiritual seeker, and now includes Dharma centres, study groups, a puja house, soup kitchen, publishing and production house, comprehensive education programmes, art studio, retail stores both physical and online, and a vegetarian restaurant, among many other initiatives.
With a strong online presence, Kechara is also a virtual Dharma centre for those who have limited access to teachers and Dharma resources close to where they live.
