ShrìDhànyaKataka is not a Dharma Center but  a Cultural Association made by practitioners of Buddhadharma who gave life to a  Dharma project concerning the Kalachakra Tantra.

The purpose is to provide with the practitioners, who want to undertake this Path, the useful tools to deepen the knowledge about  the  Kalachakra Tantra in a gradual way and above all consistent to a pure  Dharma transmission, by the guidance and  supervision of a qualified Master: Jhado Tulku Rinpoche  ex-abbot of the Namgyal Monastery.

The motivation of the  SDK's founders is aroused by altruism and devotion for the Buddhadharma and there are no lucrative purpose, that's the choice to operate as a non profit Association.

For this reason the Association is supported by membership contributions and donations.

The donations support the Masters , translators,  Buddhadharma course, and the costs of the publications' production. ShrìDhànyaKataka will have therefore the opportunity to exist and  progress, thanks to the support of the members becoming the promoters of it.

It is important to know that the accomplishment of every  Dharma project is the result of a hard work  involving years of study and researches, from the organisation of the teachings to the translation, revisions and  corrections.

The ShrìDhànyaKataka name (tib. Palden Dre Pung) was  given by the Ven. Geshe Jampa Gyatso and it is the name of the place where the Buddha  Sakyamuni revealed Himself in the appearance of Kalachakra giving the first teachings about the Kalachakra Tantra to Suchandra, the King of Shambhala.

I wish  this Dharma Project will extend and  benefit all sentient beings encouraging the spread of a Buddhist Spirituality which leans its foundations on peace and universal harmony.
