 I
pray for a more friendly, more caring, and more understanding
human family on this planet. To all who dislike suffering, who
cherish lasting happiness, this is my heartfelt appeal.
—His Holiness the Dalai Lama
Land of Great Compassion
Tse Chen Ling Center for Tibetan Buddhist Studies is an urban
meditation, study and practice center. Tse Chen Ling was founded
in 1990 and given its name [Land of Great Compassion] by His Holiness
the Dalai Lama. Tse Chen Ling operates under the spiritual guidance
of Lama Zopa Rinpoche and is part of the
Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition (FPMT).
Geshe Dakpa, our Resident Teacher
We are incredibly fortunate to have had the amazing presence of Geshe Ngawang Dakpa as a spiritual teacher and guide. Geshe Dakpa has taught innumerable classes, presided over pujas and Tsogs, given personal advice, and guided us all.
Lama Zopa Rinpoche, and the FPMT
Our Spiritual Director, Lama Zopa Rinpoche is one the most renowned Buddhist masters of our time. We are indebted to him, Lama Yeshe (the founder of FPMT) and the FPMT organization for providing the opportunity to transform our hearts and minds through the study and practice of Buddhism.
Our Sangha Community
We usually have a few monks and/or nuns in residence in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition who can be a Dharma friend when needed or help with study or practice questions. They give practical ritual assistance by organizing and leading pujas for a sick or dying family member, showing us how to fill our statues or helping us start a daily practice.
Our Staff
Our staff are the kind and committed individuals behind the scenes who keep everything running smoothly. They are committed to service, and to ensuring that the members of the community have everything they need in order to feel supported in their pursuit of learning about and practicing the Dharma.
Our Larger Community
Tse Chen Ling exists for you – and so we extend a deep and heartfelt thank you to one another, our entire community of practitioners, whose presence makes Tse Chen Ling possible. To learn more about the Tse Chen Ling community, visit the Community Life page.
