Under the guidance of the current State Oracle Ven. Thupten Ngodup, we are very pleased to announce the establishment of a Nechung Buddhist Center in the Bay Area. As an official branch of the Nechung Monastery in Dharamsala, India, Nechung Buddhist Center, San Francisco, was established in 2000. In keeping with the goals of the Monastery, the Nechung Center is dedicated to preserving the unique cultural and spiritual heritage of Tibet and sharing it with the rest of the world.

The Nechung Buddhist Center, San Francisco, is a nonprofit organization. The faculty members of the Nechung Center teach all stages of Tibetan Buddhism and Tibetan language. The Center holds monthly meditations classes, and training programs; organizes special talks, teachings and initiations by masters of all schools of Tibetan Buddhism; and hosts presentations on the Tibetan art of thangka painting, healing and astrology. Fund-raising efforts are directed toward supporting the Nechung monastic community in India and Tibet and creating educational and health-care facilities for Tibetan refugees. A long-term goal of the Nechung Center is to complete the refurbishment of the original monastery in Tibet.
