Making Dharma Freely Accessible
FireLotus is a volunteer-led initiative dedicated to making authentic Buddhist teachings from Khenpo Sodargye freely available in English and beyond.
We combine traditional translation rigor with modern technology so wisdom can reach anyone seeking clarity, compassion, and a meaningful path.

Rooted in Authentic Teachings
Khenpo Sodargye is a Tibetan Buddhist scholar, translator, and teacher from Larung Gar, whose decades of teaching, writing, translation, and university lectures have made authentic Dharma wisdom accessible to modern learners around the world.
FireLotus shares courses and talks based on the teachings of Khenpo Sodargye.
Every course is based on Khenpo's actual teachings, not AI-generated Dharma content.
A Global Volunteer Community
FireLotus is created and maintained entirely by volunteer students who have been deeply transformed by Khenpo Sodargye's teachings. We dedicate our time and skills freely to break down language barriers. By combining traditional translation rigor with modern AI tools, we ensure these precious instructions are preserved and shared for future generations.

Our Commitment to Transparency
AI helps us translate and adapt teachings more efficiently, but the teachings themselves are not generated by AI. AI does not replace human judgment, traditional study, or qualified spiritual guidance. Some errors may occur, and we welcome corrections from you.
