About us
Long Yang e.V. is a non-profit organisation based in Munich, Germany. The NGO was initiated by the Buddhist Master Practitioner Tulku Khyungdor Rinpoche in 1997 with the aim to create pathways for the future of our planet. Since then, we have been committed to realize the vision of TK Rinpoche to establish Akasha Academies worldwide.
With the focus on education, health promotion, female empowerment and environmental protection, Long Yang has been creating a lasting positive impact through projects and events in Nepal. Closely working together with our Nepalese partner organisation Akasha Academy NGO, we have built trust with the local population over many years.
Akasha Academy is a global institute for integrated education, offering spaces and programs to reconnect with the common ground that all beings share – to act for the survival of humanity. Universal Ethics are the foundation of all projects and programs of Akasha Academy.
“We all breathe the same air, we all drink the same water, we all walk on the same earth.” - Tulku Khyungdor Rinpoche

What happened in Nepal so far? Some insights and best wishes!
Namaste everyone,
as of today (24.12.25), we’ve raised over 22,000 € for our Global Guardians project — thank you to everyone who has supported so generously!
That’s more than 85% of our 25,000€ goal to provide access to practical education to 8,500 children in Nepal.
Since last week, hundreds of children in Nepal received new winter school clothes and participated in the first Global Guardian Workshops! And many more are to come until end of December.

This year's workshops focuses on environmental awareness related to paper, starting with questions like “Where does paper come from? How is it produced?”.
Children were especially eager to connect with the senses, by observing and touching different types of paper and its natural sources wood or even lokta – a common plant, which is a more sustainable source of paper in Nepal. It grows much faster than wood and the texture is a bit different.

As a next step, the connection between nature and humans is further analyzed:
"What happens to the environment and human health when we cut trees and burn paper waste?
How can we reduce paper consumption and how can we reuse old paper?"
To make it practical, the Nepali education team created beautiful art and paper works - simply from old newspaper and natural glue (water and flour)! Children were very inspired and eager to learn themselves how to create this paper work step by step within the workshop.

This is just one example of environmental awareness workshops. Within the next year, further formats and contents of the Global Guardian Workshops Series will be developed and conducted in all 16 public schools of Gokaneshwor – to provide inspiring environmental education to all 8500 students!
