White Lotus Buddhist Center

White Lotus Buddhist Center White Lotus Buddhist Center offers weekly talks on Tibetan Buddhism and meditation practice. We practice in the tradition of the Drikung Kagyu lineage of Tibet.

White Lotus Buddhist Center is dedicated to the transmission of Buddha’s teachings and realization to America and is committed to the support of those who seek to walk the Path together. This effort involves individuals gaining the confidence to commit to ongoing study, critical analysis – pounding the teachings as gold would be hammered in ancient India to prove its purity – and applying the teac

hings to the training of the mind. Our center, located in Rochester, New York offers weekly lectures on Tibetan Buddhism and meditation practice in a warm and friendly environment. The highlights of each year are programs by visiting Tibetan Lamas who teach on Buddhism, lead meditation retreats, and meet one on one with interested practitioners.

Announcement!
Shravasti meditation retreat w/ Ven. Khenmo Sonam July 11th and 12th

Khenmo Sonam brings with her a rare combination of rigorous scholarly training, deep meditative experience, and a lifelong commitment to the monastic path. We are truly grateful and fortunate to welcome a teacher of her caliber and dedication to White Lotus.

In the midst of busy lives filled with noise, distraction, and relentless activity, we rarely give the mind the space it needs to truly settle. The Shravasti Meditation Retreat offers just that, a supported, gentle container in which to turn inward, reconnect with the breath, and touch the natural stillness that is always already present.

All are welcome!

Today marks the anniversary of Kyoba Jigten Sumgön's Mahaparinirvana

Kyoba Jigten Sumgön is the founder of the Drikung Kagyu lineage and author of the Gong Chig (Single Intention), a text encompassing all of the aspects of the Buddha's teachings.

Known as the "second Nagarjuna", Jigten Sumgön established and spread the Kagyu teachings of the lineage of Tilopa, Naropa, Marpa, Milarepa, and Jigten Sumgön's own Guru Phagmo Drupa.

Drikung Thil, the monastery founded by Kyoba Jigten Sumgön, became a center of learning that attracted many great masters across Tibet, and remains the heart of the Drikung Kagyu lineage. Over 800 years later, Jigten Sumgön's tradition still flourishes, and today we honor and supplicate him that the Drikung Kagyu tradition continues on, and that we may better understand and practice the Dharma.
