Padmasambhava Buddhist Center of Tennessee is a small, newly built Vajrayana temple in Nashville’s Berry Hill.

For serious students of Buddhism, this is the real deal. They are fortunate enough to have a luminous international lama, who visits the center, as their teacher and very dedicated practitioners, all set with in a lovely new Tibetan temple.

I love this small and mighty traditional Vajrayana temple. It was originally envisioned by Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche and Khenchen Palden Sherab Rinpoche. It is located in a beautiful neighborhood in Berry Hill, Nashville. It is a great place to strengthen and maintain one’s practice.

Beautiful little temple, newly constructed, realized by the first Vajrayana mandala in Tennessee. A portal for the authentic teachings of the Buddha and Guru Padmasambhava.

This tiny house in the middle of Berry Hill in Nashville is amazingly quiet and peaceful inside. The beautiful shrine room invites you to sit and let your cares dissolve as you contemplate the large statues, pictures and offerings arranged just for that purpose. There are several meetings throughout the week when you can experience the Tibetan rituals taught by the visiting lamas, and a Sunday Introduction to Buddhism discussion meeting led by local students, who are happy to answer any questions.
