Most importantly, enjoy a peaceful mind amidst the chaos and become a happier person as a result. Sit with us in person or join live via Zoom every Sunday at 10 AM (Pacific Time).
Once again, we ask that everyone who attends the teaching at the Buddhist Institute temple in Spokane wear a mask and practice safe social distancing protocols to ensure everyone’s health.

About Our Teacher: Geshe-la
Venerable Geshe Prof. Phelgye, a former Member of the Tibetan Parliament in Exile, joined Serajey Monastic University at 17. To begin with, he received his novice ordination from the senior tutor to His Holiness the Dalai Lama (Kyabje Ling Rinpoche) in 1974. He then studied rigorously for the next 18 years, notably earning his Geshe degree (doctorate) in 1991 as a result.
In 1993, with blessings from H.H. The Dalai Lama, he went on a hermitage retreat in a cave in the mountains of Dharamsala. This is where he would remain for the next five years to meditate and practice the Dharma. In 1998, he founded the Universal Compassion Foundation (UCF) after receiving support and blessings from H.H. the Dalai Lama. Since then, Geshe-la has openly campaigned for vegetarianism and Universal Compassion worldwide. In 2017, Geshe-la opened the Buddhist Institute, a Buddhist temple in Spokane, WA.
