Helping people and animals in times of need

Compassion lies at the heart of the Buddha’s teachings. It is more than a feeling of concern for others; it is the wish that suffering may be relieved, expressed through meaningful action.

Through Compassion in Action, Tibetan Sakya Trust seeks to bring practical help, dignity and kindness to people and animals experiencing hardship.

Our work may take many forms, responding to genuine need where our support can make a meaningful difference.

Caring for People

Hardship can affect anyone. Poverty, illness, disability, isolation and difficult circumstances can leave individuals and families without the support they need.

We aim to offer compassionate assistance to those facing difficult circumstances, including:

• Children and families experiencing hardship
• Older people who need additional care or support
• People living with disabilities
• Those affected by poverty or homelessness
• People struggling to access essential healthcare or practical assistance
• Communities facing unexpected hardship or emergencies

Sometimes a relatively small act of generosity can make an enormous difference to someone’s life.

Compassion for Animals

Buddhist teachings encourage compassion for all sentient beings.

Where possible, we seek to support activities that protect animals from suffering and provide them with care, food, shelter or medical assistance.

By extending compassion beyond ourselves, we recognise the preciousness of life in all its forms.

Responding Where Help Is Needed

Compassion cannot always be planned.

Circumstances change. Families encounter crises. Communities experience hardship. Animals need urgent care.

For this reason, Compassion in Action allows the Trust to respond to needs and suitable charitable projects as they arise, while ensuring that support is used responsibly and in accordance with the charitable purposes of Tibetan Sakya Trust.

As the work grows, we hope to share the stories and projects made possible through the generosity of our supporters.

Small Acts. Meaningful Change.

You do not need to make an extraordinary gift to make a difference.

When many people offer what they can, individual acts of generosity become something much greater: food, warmth, education, care, dignity and hope.

In Buddhist practice, generosity is not measured simply by how much is given, but by the compassionate intention to benefit others.

Every act of kindness matters.
