History

Established in 1996.

Sukhasiddhi Foundation, founded in 1996 through the inspiration of Khabje Kalu Rinpoche, provides a vehicle for the teaching and practice of Vajrayana Buddhism in the West.

Under the guidance of Resident Lama Palden Drolma, we offer classes, retreats, and long-​term practice programs for both new and advanced students. Our emphasis is on the cultivation of deep realization and understanding — in the midst of our ordinary lives as well as in retreat — so that wisdom, compassion and loving-​kindness can open and flourish within us.

The lineage of Tibetan Buddhism offers us an unbroken stream of blessings from the Buddha down to this day, enabling us to practice deeply in the midst of our everyday experience. These practices, culminating in Mahamudra and Dzogchen, provide a path to the understanding and realization of our luminous Buddha Nature, the true nature of mind and reality, which is the inseparability of clarity, luminosity, and openness.
