Awam refers to compassion and wisdom leading to awakening and liberation. We teach Tibetan Buddhism with a focus on Nyingma Dzogchen. Our spiritual director is His Holiness Khenchen Lama Rinpoche, and our resident teacher is Khenchen Drimed Dawa, along with visiting teachers.
Our regular weekly schedule includes Sunday Mantra Meditation (9:30-9:50), Sunday Meditation Hour (11-12 am), and Wednesday Mindfulness Practices (6-6:30 pm). We celebrate festivals on special days on the Tibetan calendar: Losar (new year) and Four Great Festivals (Duchens). HH Khenchen Lama Rinpoche and Yogi Lama Gursam are visiting teachers at our center in Tucson, Arizona.
