About Shanti India
SHANTI INDIA was created in 2005 to help the most underprivileged children in Bodhgaya, Bihar, the poorest state of India. In such areas children from humble backgrounds often can't get access to quality education. SHANTI INDIA provides today 886 children from poor families with full-time free education and helps them to pursue their dreams. Children and students of SHANTI INDIA are taught ethical codes of conduct based on solidarity, compassion, tolerance and kindness.

Letter of Support from Togden Achoe
"The Shanti India school, located in Bodhgaya (Vajrasana), India, is a true sanctuary of knowledge of extreme utility. The children there all come from families whose strength is exhausted by suffering. It is therefore of paramount importance to grant them aid and assistance for their education, as well as for their essential needs: food, clothing, and medical care. This is why I appeal to people of faith and pure, altruistic thought, to bring the best possible support and collaboration to this project.
Through the power of this virtue thus accomplished, I offer this aspiration prayer that these children may meet with happiness and peace, and that this help may be fully beneficial to them." — From Choelo
Lettre de Soutien de Togden Achoe
"L'école Shanti India, située à Bodhgaya (Vajrasana) en Inde, est un véritable sanctuaire de la connaissance d'une utilité extrême.
Les enfants qui s'y trouvent proviennent tous de familles dont la force est épuisée par la souffrance. Il est donc d'une importance capitale de leur accorder aide et assistance pour leur éducation, ainsi que pour leurs besoins essentiels : nourriture, vêtements et soins médicaux.
C'est pourquoi je lance un appel aux personnes ayant la foi et la pensée pure et altruiste, afin qu'elles apportent le meilleur soutien et la meilleure collaboration possible à ce projet.
Par la force de cette vertu ainsi accomplie, je formule la prière de souhait que ces enfants rencontrent le bonheur et la paix, et que cette aide leur soit pleinement bénéfique."— De Choelo

"We are all responsible for the world we live in. Each of us can work to make it more humane and I have no doubt that we do so by uniting our good wishes."
“For as long as space remains
For as long as sentient beings remain
Until then may I too remain
To dispel the miseries of the world.”
