The Tsurlug calendar—a living astronomical and spiritual tradition of the Karma Kagyu lineage, carried forward from the 14th century—shapes the sacred rhythm of monastic life and practice for communities, practioners/individuals around the world. This project is dedicated to preserving, calculating, and sharing it. It is maintained by commitment and enthusiasm and supported by people like you.
Karma Kagyu Calendar
The Tsurlug tradition connects practitioners to an unbroken lineage. Ongoing support also helps keep the calendar operational, making it available to monasteries, scholars, and practitioners worldwide.

Even a small monthly gift creates the stability that makes long-term work possible. If you'd like a sense of what different amounts support:
€5 / month — Keeps the website and domain live
€15 / month — Covers one month of newsletter distribution
€30 / month — Supports calendar verification with Tibetan scholars
€50 / month — Contributes to printed calendar distribution to remote monasteries
A recurring monthly gift of any amount is especially helpful — it allows planning, not just reacting.

A Note on Independence and Transparency
This project is carried out under the spiritual guidance of His Holiness the Karmapa. Our fundraising, however, is entirely independent and unaffiliated with His Holiness's Private Office or any Karma Kagyu Buddhist organization, including Bodhi Path, Dhapo, Khyenkong and Diamond Way.
As this project is operated by a private individual, donations may not qualify for tax deduction in your jurisdiction.
If you have any questions, please contact us.
