Songtsen: Casa da Cultura do Tibete

Songtsen, Casa da Cultura do Tibete, is a Portuguese NGO whose main purpose is to contribute to the preservation, knowledge, study and the accessibility of Tibetan culture and values, in all of its expressions—religious, philosophical, artistic, and social.
Songtsen: Casa da Cultura do Tibete was founded in 1998 by Portuguese students of Pema Wangyal Rinpoche, and relies on the universal message of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, integrating an international network of similar institutions; with the purpose of universalizing the spirit and wisdom of the Tibetan people.
“The Portuguese were among the first Western peoples to establish regular contact with the Tibetans, and it is with genuine rejoicing that we receive and share the wealth of this culture consecrated to the development of the superior potentialities of the human being.”
