The mandala of Tulku Sang Ngag Rinpoche’s activities spans the world and includes monasteries, nunneries, dharma centers, sacred site construction, the preservation and publishing of rare Buddhist texts, and philanthropic projects serving poor and underprivileged populations.

The name Ewam itself brings together the two Sanskrit syllables for wisdom and compassionate methods. Actualizing the union of these two is the goal of all Buddhist practice. Ewam is a religious, charitable and educational non-profit and was established in 1999 under the spiritual guidance of its founder, Tulku Sang-ngag Rinpoche. Ewam’s mission is to advance and cultivate spiritual awareness in the west and throughout the world, with particular emphasis on the study and practices of Nyingma Tibetan Buddhism, in its various aspects, including philosophical, psychological and medicine. Ewam’s purpose is to preserve Tibetan Buddhism. Ewam’s teachers offer Buddhist retreats and teachings, throughout the year. Ewam encourages weekly Buddhist practice sessions at all Ewam locations around the world.

Although the International seat of Ewam and its activities resides at the Garden of One Thousand Buddhas in Arlee, Montana, Ewam has centers in New Mexico, California, India, Japan, Nepal, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. H.E. Tulku Sang-ngag Rinpoche’s primary enlightened intent in his main western seats-the Garden of One Thousand Buddhas in Arlee, Montana and Ewam Pema Khandro Ling in Santa Fe, New Mexico–is to skillfully guide western students through a holistic combination of study and practice of Buddhism.
