Our Purpose

Lama Phurbu Tashi would like to share this statement with you:

“My intention to teach here is to bring some spiritual benefits to the material world. Not for any other reason, not even to establish Buddhist communities or turn the people on to my way. Although still of course I teach meditation according to Buddha’s teachings, otherwise it wouldn’t help you if I teach something from my own ideas; because I am not an enlightened being. The teachings of enlightened one (Buddha) is proved by thousands and thousands of great scholars and accomplished peoples and this is the thing that can bring us peaceful, happiness and freedom.”
