Welcome families! Our unique program offers weekly Sunday classes for children of all ages. Special events – including our Family Dharma Camp – are offered throughout the year. Each month we explore one of the 16 Guidelines, celebrate Buddhist holy days (such as Saka Dawa and Lama Tsongkhapa Day), introduce Buddhist practices (including prostrations and reciting mantras), and participate in Center-wide celebrations, like Losar - the Tibetan New Year, and Compassion Day, which commemorate the birthday His Holiness the Dalai Lama. The hand-painted cards shown here were made during a children's class in celebration of Compassion Day.

Thank you Craig for making our world a little more put together every week!

Last Sunday my preferred gompa seating location was full to the brim so I sat in the back 40. While the different perspective was more distracting it was curious at the same time. Eventually the nestled feeling of Geshe-la’s cadence and laugh brought that sweet sense of perfection in the moment. Every so often a voice cleared behind me and...
