In memory of CHÖGYAL NAMKHAI NORBU

Three years after his missing, on 27 September 2018, ASIA remembers with affection and gratitude its founder Chögyal Namkhai Norbu.

Chögyal Namkhai Norbu had a deep knowledge of Tibet’s ancient culture and history and was a famous Master of Dzogchen Teaching, too. Forty years ago, in 1981, he founded Merigar, the center where people interested in the study and practice of Dzogchen meet according to his teachings. In 1988 he founded ASIA, with the aim of protecting the identity and the historical and cultural heritage of Asian peoples, with particular attention to Tibet and the Himalayan area. To him forever our infinite gratitude.

ASIA joins the ASSK (Afghan Students Seek Knowledge) campaign launched by Sapienza University of Rome

The aim is to support the studies of Afghan students who are fleeing the country to reach Italy, in order to protect their right to education and guarantee them a dignified life.

ASIA has taken action with its donors, both institutional and private, to find as soon as possible the financial resources necessary to cover the scholarships for female students who manage to arrive in Italy and who will be admitted to the degree programmes of Sapienza University.
