We are a US Center affiliated with the Paramita Centres of Québec, Toronto, France, and India. We teach meditation and Buddhist philosophy in the Tibetan Buddhist Gelug tradition, as founded by the great teacher Je Tsongkhapa and today led by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. The Centre made its beginnings in Quebec in 2003, founded by Geshe Lobsang Samten. Since then many Centers have been established in Quebec province and in France. The Centre started its activities in Ontario in 2015 and opened a location in Toronto in 2019, welcoming everyone to study and practice Meditation and Buddha’s Teachings in English. We are opening a center in Chattanooga, Tennessee, to bring the Paramita Centre teachings to the US. The Center is directed by Lama Samten and one of his senior teachers, Tibetan monk Tenzin Gawa (Jason Simard). Lobsang Tharchin (Les Kertay), will teach classes in calm-abiding meditation and will organize other events through the Center.
