"Dharma centers are of utmost importance in the world today. They give people the opportunity to learn about love and compassion. World peace depends upon people having loving kindness and compassion. If people don't have compassion, life becomes very dangerous. Therefore, we need places where the methods for developing compassion are taught."
~ Lama Zopa Rinpoche
About the Guhyasamaja Center
The Guhyasamaja Center, an FPMT affiliate, offers classes for newcomers to Buddhism as well as advanced practitioners. For newcomers, we are offering the FPMT Discovering Buddhism Program.
Currently, we are one of the few Centers in the world that offers the FPMT Basic Program. Basic Program introductory classes cover the Lam Rim and Shantideva's well known text "A Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life". Our advanced class is a commentary on Lama Chopa.
We practice the devotional Lama Chopa (guru puja) with tsog and Twenty One Taras. In addition, we celebrate the major Tibetan Buddhist holy days together.
Special events include tantric initiations, weekend meditation retreats, a summer course, and social get-togethers.
The Guhyasamaja Center offers Dharma teachings free of charge. We invite you to make financial donations to our Teaching fund to cover the expenses that make our classes possible. These costs include airfare, transportation, health insurance, room, board, stipends and medical care.We welcome you to join us on the Buddha's path to Enlightenment.
