There are an increasing number of full-time and part-time staff in the Kechara organisation as more and more people see the value in Dharma work. There are around 95 people who are currently working in the organisation at present.

Each department of Kechara is run by its own group of core people, who are official committee members, liaisons, full-time or part-time staff and volunteers.

Liaisons

The Liaisons Council was introduced in the year 2006. Due to the kindness of our Spiritual Guide, H.E. Tsem Rinpoche, the Liaisons structure was put in place to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the organisation’s operations. This concept stems from the monastic institution of the great Gaden Monastery, where it was adopted hundreds of years ago and endures until today.

In Kechara, the Liaisons are committed to assist H.E. Tsem Rinpoche in spreading the Buddhadharma far and wide. This includes creating the environment for the most challenging and rewarding training – the mind training through Lama Tsongkapa’s teachings for all who come in contact with the Kechara organisation.
