Khacholing Center

Khacholing Center

We are dedicated to teaching and preserving the Dharma of the Buddha, and in the true spirit of Boddhichitta, to providing compassionate aid to those in need.

The members of Khacholing Center individually and as a group, are dedicated to the teachings and practices of the Buddha, as practiced by the Gelugpa sect of Tibetan Buddhism founded by Je Tsongkhapa. The members also strive to develop faith and conviction in other Tibetan Buddhist schools – Nyingma, Kyagud and Sakya – and the various other traditions of Theravada and Mahayana Buddhism.
