In April, Executive Director Justin Kelley and Director of Operations Kai Johnson joined Buddhist educators from across North America at the Forest Creek Refuge Gathering in Oregon. What unfolded was a conversation that rarely happens in education.

What a few weeks it has been.
Blessings from Tai Situ Rinpoche. Scientists and researchers in conversation with our teachers. A teacher appreciation dinner with Mingyur Rinpoche. Tergar Schools Model of Learning training. A journey to Yolmo. Students leading meditation at the opening ceremony of Tergar Osel Ling Monastery. Executive Director presenting Tergar Schools — and then, a beautiful visit from those who came for the monastery and found their way to our school.
Grateful for these historic moments, and everyone who made it so. The roots go deeper. The vision grows wider. 🙏

A milestone moment for the entire Tergar community. Sharing a little glimpse of Tergar School Kathmandu's moment from the day, as we were part of the grand opening of Tergar Osel Ling Monastery, with our students leading a guided meditation for thousands of attendees. What a day to have the entire school together for this historic occasion.

The first foundations of Tergar School Yolmo have been laid not just in concrete and steel, but in patience, resilience, and love. We're sharing the story of how this school is taking shape. Read full story here: https://tergarschools.org/2026/04/the-first-foundations-yolmo-school-takes-shape

Our students tried their hand at shaping clay Buddhas and in the effort, something beautiful emerged. Not perfection, but presence. Not polished, but pure joy.

A moment of joy for the Tergar Schools family. 🙏 We were blessed with a private audience with His Holiness the 12th Chamgon Kenting Tai Situ Rinpoche, who graciously offered a Manjushri transmission and heartfelt guidance to our teachers, staff and students.

We carry this blessing with gratitude, as we continue our work of nurturing young hearts and minds.
