Shantideva Center is dedicated to cultivating wisdom and compassion through the study and practice of Tibetan Buddhism. We are affiliated with the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition (FPMT), which is based on the Buddhist tradition of Lama Tsongkhapa as taught by our founder, Lama Thubten Yeshe and Spiritual Director, Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche.

Programs include Buddhist teachings and retreats with qualified teachers, study programs, meditation, pujas and ritual practices, community service, and special events.

“A Dharma center which offers practices and education [fulfills] an extremely important need.  It is a very important tool to bring peace in the world, and peace in numberless sentient beings’ minds.  Whatever you are able to contribute will benefit not only for peace of this world but for all sentient beings.” —Lama Zopa Rinpoche
