The Jefferson Tibetan Society's primary function is
to provide teaching and meditation practice in the Tibetan Buddhist
tradition, as exemplified by His Holiness the Dalai Lama's teachings.
Our resident Lama of the last 25 years, Venerable
Geshe
Jampel Thardo from Drepung Loseling Monastery passed from our world in
September. He demonstrated physical signs of a very high level of
spiritual realization at the time of his passing and we are so grateful
for all the guidance he provided to our sangha and the central Virginia
community. Traditional weekly pujas were held weekly on
Wednesdays for 7 weeks through November 5th in honor of Geshe-la and to
pray for the opportunity to receive spiritual guidance from him in the
future. As it was Geshe-la's wish for our Dharma center to
continue to function as a teaching & practice center, the following
activities are offered:
