Dunhuang Foundation Inc is a non-profit organization based in Houston, TX, dedicated to the conservation, preservation, and education of the ancient site of Dunhuang. With a rich history dating back to remote antiquity, this sand-swept height overlooking the desert river valley has been revered as the Wonderful Cliff or the Precipice of the Immortals. The foundation works tirelessly to protect this spiritual locus of power, which was transformed into a cave temple by a wandering monk named Yuezun in 366, after he had a vision of a golden radiance in the form of a thousand Buddhas.
Through their efforts, Dunhuang Foundation Inc aims to safeguard the cultural heritage of Dunhuang, ensuring that future generations can appreciate and learn from its art and history. By organizing travel tours and providing educational resources, the foundation invites individuals to explore the wonders of this ancient site and supports initiatives that contribute to its preservation. Their mission is driven by a deep gratitude for the continued support and interest of those who share their passion for Dunhuang.
