Naljor Prison Dharma Service is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2001. Through our service, we offer The Heart of Dharma Collection (a selection of 10 precious Buddhist Dharma teachings), a Glossary of Buddhist Terms, and an excellent 28-page Resource Directory for Prisoners. We provide these teachings and resources directly to men and women in prison throughout the United States and to numerous prison outreach organizations. We have also started the Personal Development Sponsorship Program, connecting prisoners, who have no family or friends on the outside, with a sponsor who is willing to support their personal and spiritual development.

Those inside the United States prison system can readily access the inspirational literature and personal support offered by mainstream religious organizations. However, this is not always the case for those interested in the Buddhist path of awakening or other potential avenues which can support one's psychological and spiritual well-being. In light of this, our present array of resource materials are provided specifically to meet this growing need.

Naljor Prison Dharma Service fulfills the many requests for teachings and resource directories by way of the postal service. However, through this website, we also provide all of our resource materials and dharma teachings free of charge to families of prisoners and to individuals and organizations who are involved in supporting the well-being of those in prison.

If you are a family member or friend of someone in prison, a prison chaplain or psychologist, or you are working with an organization who offers prison services of any kind, you are welcome to print out or download our Resource Directory for Prisoners, the Glossary of Buddhist Terms, or any of the Heart of Dharma Collection of precious Buddhist Dharma teachings. In addition, if you might be interested in sponsoring a prisoner who has no family or friends on the outside to support them, please view our Personal Development Sponsorship Program

Prison outreach organizations, or individuals working with prisoners, you are welcome to freely use and distribute our dharma teachings and our Resource Directory for Prisoners. You may customize the top, front page of the Resource Directory, using the name and information of your organization or service. We would be happy to facilitate this by sending you the original Microsoft Word file or a PDF file so you can customize the document for your organization, or we will do this for you.

May the virtue of this Dharma work be dedicated to liberating all living beings from suffering, and to the ultimate goal of enlightenment for the benefit of all. May the precious, superior heart/mind of Compassion, Wisdom, and Love be generated in those who have not yet generated it. May it not decrease in those who have developed it, but increase continuously.
