"If you have a sense of caring for others,
you will manifest a kind of inner strength in spite of your own
difficult situations and problems. With this strength, your problems
will seem less significant and bothersome. By going beyond your
own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength,
self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm. This is a
clear example of how one's way of thinking can really make a difference."
~ His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama
Tenzin Gyatso
The Guhyasamaja Center is a community of spiritual friends in the
Washington DC area dedicated to the practice of Tibetan Buddhism.
Our resident teacher, Gyumed
Khensur Rinpoche Lobsang Jampa (Geshe Thinley Topgyal), is a retired
abbot of Gyumed Tantric College and a teacher at Sera Mey monastery
in India. We follow the Gelugpa tradition, the same lineage as
His Holiness The Dalai Lama.
The Center was founded in 1994 under the spiritual direction
of Lama
Zopa Rinpoche and the Foundation
for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition. FPMT is an
international family of city and retreat centers, monasteries,
publishing houses, hospices, and healing centers established by
Lama
Yeshe.
Unfortunately, the Center does not have its own meeting place
at this time, instead we rent space at local churches.
