"Remember the suffering brought by the changing times to the people of the sonwland, the people endowed with history, courage and a sense of responsibility. Remember their unflinching determination and let us continue to develop our own sense of national responsibility".

The Dokham Chushi Gangdruk Society is the Canadian Chapter of Dokham Chushi Gangdruk Worldwide.

The Canadian Chapter based out of Toronto, Ontario was founded in 1992. Our activities include regular meetings of members, support of the local Tibetan community, religious services, Tibetan cultural music and dance troupes.

The Insignia at the bottom symbolizes the organization's main intention of defending Tibetan Buddhism from Communist China. The "flaming sword" is that of Manjusri Bodhisattva of Wisdom (Jampal Yang in Tibetan); which severs the roots of ignorance. The other sword symbolizes bravery and was the only weapon that the Khampas or the Tibetans themselves could make.
