What we’re about
The ancient and brilliant wisdom of Buddha Shakyamuni has been brought into the modern world by Buddhist master and scholar, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, to solve our daily problems while on a spiritual path that leads to enlightenment. Hear teachings that deeply touch the heart while expanding our capacity for love and compassion. Attend chanted prayers to become acquainted with the Buddhas who grant us blessings and guide us. Come to our events as a drop-in visitor or stay to become part of a harmonious community of new and long-time Buddhists who put the teachings into practice.
