The Sattva Foundation was formed to preserve Buddhist cultural events and philosophical teachings in the West. We host extraordinary Rinpoches from Bhutan, India and Tibet to share an ancient tradition of authentic and profound teachings that enhance our lives and activate our inherently existing compassion and wisdom.

PAST & PRESENT EVENTS in the West include:

Retreats lead by Tibetan and Bhutanese Lamas on various subjects (see events).
During 2006 & 2007, the Sattva Foundation hosted the Nechung Oracle, H.E. Gangteng Tulku Rinpoche, Anyen Rinpoche and Lamas from the Central Monastic Body of Bhutan. In 2006, we were honored to have Tsoknyi Rinpoche give a one evening talk. In spite of his busy schedule, Anyen Rinpoche is now teaching us in Aspen on a regular schedule.

The Monks from Bhutan gave teachings, empowerments, constructed a Medicine Buddha sand mandala (March 07) and performed Bhutanese & Tibetan sacred dance performances (March 07)

Our long term goal is the creation of an emergency humanitarian fund to assist citizens throughout the world during emergency situations. Please volunteer to help us!

In the Aspen area, our goal is to house teachers and events in temporary locations until a cultural center can be built. Because of the growing community of Buddhist practioners in the area, the events held in Aspen to date have had a very successful turnout.
