I love this place! So peaceful and brings a real inner peace to be here. Master Kenpo is a true Treasure! Everyone is great and wants you to feel welcome. I highly recommend this Meditation Center. This is the place where all my pain and stress disappear, and I can connect with the Universe.

I was a member of this Sangha for several years until I moved away. Even years later I sometimes cry from longing to be closer to my teacher Khenpo Gawang Rinpoche, who I still consider to be my teacher even though we are so far apart. Do not be shy about visiting. Rinpoche and the entire sangha are warm, inviting and welcome anyone of any religious affiliation. He never pushes or even mentions Buddhist etiquette. Though he has been a monk since the age of nine he's fond of telling newcomers "Don't feel shy that you are a beginner. We are ALL beginners." He jokes that though he's studied vigilantly and graduated among the top of his class at Namdraling University "When I was younger I thought I'd be enlightened by now, but still haven't gotten there!" Fridays are for teachings about meditation to benefit anyone. Sundays are basic dharma talks, stimulating for both body and mind. It will keep you riveted and wishing it could last all day! Rinpoche strongly wishes to meet privately with anyone new (a great honor considering his status!). He's so friendly and quick with a smile you'll feel like old friends the moment you lock eyes. He reminds me so much of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, who I have also had the great honor and privilege to be granted a meeting. I don't use the word "awesome" often, but this man and this group really and truly are.
