What we’re about
Our goal at Tubten Kunga Center (“TKC”) is to help students achieve their maximum potential for wisdom, happiness, and compassion.
At TKC, you will find students from all walks of life. Most people who attend classes and events at our center are not Buddhists, but are attracted to Buddhism’s message of peace, compassion, and wisdom. Our students are young and old, married and single, and from all religious and ethnic backgrounds. We provide an engaging selection of classes to suit all levels of interest and effort. We also attempt to foster a community atmosphere, where people can come when they need support during difficult times. We invite you to become a part of our Dharma family, or just drop in as you please!
Please visit our website for more details about our Center as well as our calendar of events.

See all- Wisdom Energy with Venerable TendronThubten Kunga Ling, Deerfield Beach, FL
Join us for Venerable Tendon’s teachings on Thursday evenings beginning October 24th from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm both in-person and on Zoom. She will be teaching selected topics found in Wisdom Energy, by Lama Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinpoche.
Wisdom Energy is a simple and compelling introduction to Buddhism by the founding members of the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition. Containing an entire meditation course, it goes to the heart of basic Buddhist practice and discusses the meaning and purpose of meditation, the causes of dissatisfaction and unhappiness, and the methods for subduing them and gaining control over our minds and lives. Originally published in 1976, Wisdom Energy still preserves the power, humor, and directness of the lamas’ first teaching tour of North America, giving the reader the feeling of an intimate audience with two highly respected teachers.
