Vajra Wisdom Foundation

Buddhist meditation and lifetime practices for everyone.

Colorado Springs, CA   |  www.vajrawisdom.org

Mission

The Vajra Wisdom Foundation is a Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhist teaching foundation and part of the worldwide movement to bring the Buddha Dharma and practice to the west especially in the United States. We teach from the Nyingma lineage as well as from other Tibetan traditions. Subjects taught include meditation, spiritual practices, healing arts, and Buddhist wisdom training. We are open to people new to Buddhism and others who have not had the opportunity to study in a welcoming and accepting environment. In addition, Buddhist meditation is something that does not require you to be a Buddhist, so everyone is welcome!
