Support Our Mission

Tse Chen Ling Center has grown from a small group of students in Ven. Carol Corradi’s living room to a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with a bustling city program that follows the Gelugpa tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.

Each year, we expand our programs with the goal of providing the best social-service possible: the tools to transform negative states of minds to minds of equanimity, compassion, love, and joy.

The Future at Tse Chen Ling

Owing to the generous support of our community, Tse Chen Ling is in the process of an amazing transformation from a small livingroom-based Dharma Center, to a large, bustling community center whose sole purpose is to benefit the lives of those whom we contact.

In addition to our unparalleled academic program in Tibetan Buddhist Studies, featuring the Basic Program, the Discovering Buddhism series, and a program to facilitate the practice of meditation, we are expanding our programming to include lectures, workshops, and classes in Buddhist philosophy, psychology, art, metaphysics, health, wellness, and anything that may help support the quality of life for our members.

It is our goal to have classes and programs every night of the week, so that the community will always have the option to learn more about living life in the most meaningful way possible.
