Ani-J's Nepal Pilgrimage: A Community Effort

If you have had the great pleasure of meeting Ani-J, then you know what a treasure she is to the world. Her humor is infectious; her kindness and generosity spreads warmth to the hearts of all. For those who've not been introduced, here are a few things to know about her...

Ani-Tsunma Jamyang Donma, affectionately known as Ani-J, was first ordained in 1994. Since then, she has trained her mind and heart diligently to be of service to others. Ani-J divides her time between her incredible work as a stained-glass artist with Yulokod Studios and serving as manager of the chaplaincy department for Sickkids Hospital in Toronto. Her life is a true dedication of service and love.

This fall there is a rare opportunity for Ani-J to take a pilgrimage to Nepal where one of her primary teachers, Phakchok Rinpoche, resides. Traveling to Nepal for pilgrimage has been a long-held aspiration of Ani-J's, but one which has been out of financial reach for her.

We would like to come together as a community, in thanks and gratitude for all that Ani-J does for others and make this a possibility for her. With many hands hard work is made easy. Please consider donating as little or as much as you are able, and with communal aspirations, let's see if we can give back to someone who has given so much.
