Guhyasamaja Center
Dedicated to the Practice of Tibetan Buddhism.
Welcome to the Guhyasamaja Center, a Buddhist meditation center located in the Washington, D.C. metro area. The center is dedicated to the practice of Tibetan Buddhism. It was established under the spiritual direction of Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche in 1994 as part of the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition (FPMT), an international non-profit organization founded in 1975 by Lama Thubten Yeshe, a Tibetan Buddhist monk. Established in 2013, in Fairfax, Virginia, the Guhyasamaja Center is one of more than 160 FPMT centers worldwide.

Classes and Events
The center offers teachings, classes, workshops, and study support materials to newcomers, intermediate, and advance practitioners. Currently our classes are conducted both at the center and via Zoom. We offer a variety of classes and other activities to both Buddhists and non-Buddhists in the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan area. Buddhist philosophies and techniques are used as the foundation for all the activities offered, but most classes and events are in fact open to anyone who wishes to participate.
Membership
The center exists solely because of the support of its members. Please consider becoming a member today to support the center and further The Buddha’s teachings; in this way you will create the causes for happiness and a meaningful rebirth. We are constantly exploring ways to increase opportunities for our community to learn and practice the Dharma. Membership is also a great way to express your gratitude to the center's teachers including Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche and Gyumed Khensur Rinpoche.
The Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition
The Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition (FPMT) is an international affiliated network of centers, projects, and services. The foundation is devoted to preserving and spreading Mahayana Buddhism worldwide by creating opportunities to listen, reflect, meditate, practice, and actualize the unmistaken teachings of the Buddha and based on that experience spreading the Dharma to sentient beings. The FPMT organization was founded in 1975 by Lama Thubten Yeshe (1935-84) and Lama Thubten Zopa Rinpoche, both Tibetan Buddhist monks.
FPMT centers provide integrated education through which people’s minds and hearts can be transformed into their highest potential for the benefit of others, inspired by an attitude of universal responsibility and service.
