Dharmata Foundation - Richmond, California

Andreas P.

Anam Thubten Rinpoche and the Dharmata Foundation have profoundly influenced my spiritual journey. Despite living in Bali, where sacred teachings abound, I have felt a deep connection to Rinpoche's teachings from afar. Rinpoche's books, like "Magic of Awareness," have opened my eyes to the transformative power of pure awareness and compassion.

What strikes me most about Rinpoche's approach is its practicality and lack of attachment to outcomes—a refreshing departure from conventional expectations. His emphasis on non-abiding nirvana resonates deeply, teaching us not to cling to fixed notions of enlightenment but to embrace each moment with an open heart and surrendered mind.

Living in Bali, I often feel physically distant from Rinpoche's teachings in America, yet his words and videos bridge that gap, offering a profound sense of connection and growth. His teachings have truly transformed my perspective and way of being, encouraging me to cultivate a deeper understanding of awareness and the path to spiritual fulfillment.

For anyone seeking genuine wisdom and a transformative spiritual journey, I wholeheartedly recommend exploring Anam Thubten Rinpoche's teachings through the Dharmata Foundation. The impact of his insights and approach extends far beyond geographical boundaries, touching the hearts and minds of seekers worldwide.

Lama Anum Thupten Rinpoche was one of my closest mentors and friends over the years.

His center in Richmond is still a shining jewel in an ocean of misery.
Too many people live in samsara (going around in circles) and so miss out on so much opportunity this human life offers us in growth.

I so wish more people would attend the Sunday Meditation at this center so they could find peace in their hearts.

The Dharamata Foundation also offers Tibetan language studies to help preserve a divine tongue for us all even during the Chinese occupation of Tibet.

They also offer some Dharma classes and when Anum Thupten is in the area, He brings it altogether for us all to enjoy as a true Sangha.
