What we’re about
The Guhyasamaja Center is a community of spiritual friends in the Washington DC area dedicated to the practice of Tibetan Buddhism. We follow the Gelugpa tradition, the same lineage as His Holiness The Dalai Lama.
Our Spiritual Director, Lama Zopa Rinpoche, founded the center in 1994 as part of the worldwide Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition (www.fpmt.org).
Whether you are new to Buddhism or a long-time student, we offer classes from FPMT's carefully designed curriculum to help you deepen your knowledge and establish your daily practice. Classes are informal and emphasize how to integrate Buddhism into daily life.

Discovering Buddhism: Module 3: Presenting the Path
Description: This course offers students a complete overview of the entire spiritual path taught by the Buddha and arranged in Tibet into a logical progression making it easy to understand and practice. Everything the Buddha taught is presented in the correct sequence for reaching our spiritual potential. Known in Tibet as the "Lamrim", this genre of teaching is found in every Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Experience has shown the Lamrim perfectly suited for the modern spiritual practitioner. This course will give the student a clear idea of the path to Enlightenment, especially its three main components, Renunciation, Bodhichitta, and Emptiness as presented by Je Tsongkhapa in "The Three Principal Aspects of the Path." This course offers teachings, guided Lamrim Meditations, and Q&A.
