The School of Leadership’s purpose is to equip the future monastic leaders, teachers, and translators with tools and skills necessary for success.
During the Monlam two health assistance teams came as volunteers to tend to the medical needs of anyone in need of them.
One of them was a sixteen-strong team of doctors, nurses and pharmacologists. They came from Taipei with a wide range of medical supplies, and treated over 1000 patients over the span of the six days that they spent at the Monlam.
The teams treated monks and lay people, and more significantly, members of the local population, who are normally deprived of any kind of medical assistance.
High blood pressure, diabetes and skin afflictions were prevalent among the conditions that the teams diagnosed and for which they offered advice and treatment.
a selected group of IBA Monk were volunteering as interpreters.

This summer, for the first time, and at the invitation of Khenpo Jorden, about sixteen of our monastic scholars stayed here at IBA to receive Dharma teachings, in English, from both Khenpo Jamyang Tenzin and Khenpo Ngawang Jorden.
That opportunity for our monks to study directly with our Khenpos is being followed up during this third year of the program with a class for School of Leadership students in translation, offered by Khenpo Jorden.
The summer months also brought international scholars to IBA to work with our monks on projects of text translation. Some of our other monastic scholars worked on Sutra translations with a few of the IBA School of Translation students who were also attending summer Dharma studies.
