[[en]]Tsulnam Rinpoche met children as young as four years old herding yaks and sheep on the verdant grasslands on his visit to a remote area of Qinghai, Tibet in May 2002.[[zh]]仁波切在青藏高原創辦了慈智學校，擺脫了當地文盲，改變了他們的一生，並長期推動慈善與關愛，以佛法教教育淨化人心、貢獻社會，不遺餘力。

[[en]]Poor nomads in under-developed regions 4,000 meters above sea level live in extreme hardship and survive solely by their animals. Young children help parents with the difficult job of herding and caring for the animals.[[zh]]仁波切於2002年5月訪問了青海西藏的偏遠地區，他遇到了年僅四歲的孩子們，他們正在郁郁蔥蔥的草原上放牧犛牛和羊隻。這些貧困的游牧民生活在海拔4000米以上的欠發達地區，他們的生活條件極為艱苦，必須完全依賴於他們的牲畜來維持生計。年幼的孩子們，必須拖著瘦小的身子，每日辛苦勞累地幫助父母進行一堆如照料和放牧這些動物等等的繁重工作。

[[en]]Tsulnam Rinpoche could not stop thinking about the children he had met. He felt compelled to establish a primary boarding school so that they could have the opportunity to receive basic education in a safe environment. However, first, he had to convince parents to send their children to school. Tsulnam Rinpoche had a one-on-one conversation with each family, he promised the children’s well-being was his foremost interest and spoke of the benefits of receiving a formal and traditional education. The majority of parents embraced the opportunity and rushed to register their children for school.[[z]]慈悲尊貴的仁波切見到此景，當下內心非常的難過，生起了無量的悲心，已是廿一世紀了，這些孩子仍然過著傳統無文化的生活，豈不是浪費寶貴的人生？仁波切秉著行者的慈悲心，希望在當地蓋一所寄宿制的學校，讓這些孩子能安全的住在學校接受正常教育，孩子識字後，可以研讀經書外，也可以擁有一技之長，改善他們日後的生活以及提升當地的文化水平，不需再靠畜牧、撿拾牛糞過日子，於是仁波切決定在最偏遠落後的山腳下的一個部落，是最貧窮無人問津的地方，興建第一所學校，帶動當地的讀書風氣。因為當地是最貧瘠落後的山腳下，所以外地人沒有看到這個貧瘠落後的景象，所以沒有人來幫忙這個地區，家長更不曾有讓孩子受教育的概念，於是尊貴的仁波切，不辭辛勞、跋山涉水，挨家挨戶親自拜訪孩子的父母，告訴他們讓孩子受教育後的好處，經過這些解說後，當地老百姓終於知道讀書對他們後代子孫有莫大的幫助，此消息傳出後，已造成當地居民的轟動，學校排隊登記，希望自己的孩子能夠擠進學校入學，深怕去晚了招生額滿，孩子無法入學，由此可知他們已知道讓孩子學習自立是很重要的。
