Sangha App has become essential for our daily and weekly practice rhythm, especially for those of us who rely on the Tibetan Calendar and Events functions to remember, plan, and share important occasions. Recently more than 1000 practitioners have been using the app daily or weekly, in 40+ countries around the world.
Supporting practice
Sangha App supports Dzogchen practice by gathering retreats, online practices, and spontaneous sessions from many organizers into one clear overview, so we can practice together—even when physically alone.
It connects not only with individual practitioners, but also with teachers and community initiatives such as Practicing Together, the Mirror community journal, Shang Shung Publications, Gars and Lings, and Dynamic Space of the Elements.
Our app also brings newcomers closer to the Dzogchen Community through a dedicated channel called First Steps on the Path, in collaboration with Merigar East, and the web guide Welcome to the Dzogchen Community! created in collaboration with Santi Maha Sangha teachers.
A careful use of technology
Sangha App leans toward the beneficial side of technology by offering a private, communityowned space, away from commercial social networks and advertising, so that phones and computers become a resource for practice instead of another source of noise.
For those who prefer not to depend on smartphones, and for Russian practitioners who may face extra limitations, we offer Sangha Web and Mahasangha.ru. They are designed for desktop, and make it possible to use the calendar, events, channels, and messages without relying on a mobile device. Used in this way—deliberately and in moderation—technology can help us stay linked to practice, rather than pulling us away from it.
What your donations sustain
To keep all this running, Sangha App is calling for donations from practitioners. Your support helps cover three main areas:
- Technical services: programming, maintenance, security updates, hosting, and online services that keep the app and web version stable across devices and time zones.
- Personnel: user support, process management, moderation, and administration, including coordination with Gars, Lings, and community organizations so their events and channels stay visible and organized.
- Communication and translation: clear explanations, guidance, and multilanguage content—Russian, Spanish, Italian, and Czech— so practitioners in different countries can use the app in their own language.
For example your donation this year may cover the work of selecting and ensuring consistency in 5 languages for the new quotes that will be featured in the “Wisdom Quotes” section. The book we selected to feature next is “The Three Testaments of Garab Dorje.” Wisdom quotes, accessible from Home in the app, already attracted the attention of around 40% of our frequent users, and will accompany us through the year with short, essential reminders of the path.
A warm invitation to contribute
Sangha App is a gift from practitioners to practitioners, offered freely to everyone with Dzogchen transmission, and it continues only because many of us choose to support it. If you are one of the frequent users who already rely on it, you are warmly invited—if your circumstances allow—to make a onetime or regular donation.
Your generosity helps ensure that this essential support for our practice remains available, safe, and alive for you and for the whole Vajra Family.
