Limitless Potential

Rainbow Over Sengdruk Taktse School

At the heart of the work that Joru Foundation does is the belief that all people have something to offer the world. The problem is that many people face hardships and do not have access to the resources they need in order to realize their potential. We believe that education is the most crucial tool that one must be equipped with in order to be able to thrive and accomplish their goals. Our work focuses on a school in the Golok region called Sengdruk Taktse School.

Gesar of Ling

Joru

The name Joru was the name given to the Tibetan King, Gesar, when he was a child. Gesar is renowned throughout Tibet not only as a great King, but also as an enlightened being. When Joru was a small boy, he lived with his single mother under very poor conditions. As Joru grew older, he eventually transcended the conditions of his difficult life, and grew up to be a great being. The symbolism of Joru is one of realizing your greatest potential. We see the same potential embodied by Joru as we do in so many of these children.
