"If
you have a sense of caring for others, you will manifest a kind
of inner strength in spite of your own difficult situations and
problems. With this strength, your problems will seem less significant
and bothersome. By going beyond your own problems and taking care
of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and
a greater sense of calm. This is a clear example of how one's way
of thinking can really make a difference."

The Guhyasamaja Center is a community of spiritual friends in the Washington
DC area dedicated to the practice of Tibetan Buddhism. Our visiting
teacher, Gyumed Khensur
Rinpoche Lobsang Jampa (Geshe Thinley Topgyal), is a retired abbot
of Gyumed Tantric College and a teacher at Sera Mey monastery in India.
We follow the Gelugpa tradition, the same lineage as His Holiness
The Dalai Lama.
The Center was founded in 1994 under the spiritual direction of
Lama
Zopa Rinpoche and the Foundation
for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition. FPMT is an international
family of city and retreat centers, monasteries, publishing houses,
hospices, and healing centers established by Lama
Yeshe.
Unfortunately, the Center does not have its own meeting place at
this time. Most often we meet at the Unitarian Church in Reston,
VA.
