The Shakyamuni Tibetan Buddhist Center is a non-sectarian Tibetan Buddhist group based in Portland, Oregon.  Our center was founded in 2003 by the Venerable Geshe Kalsang Damdul, Assistant Director of the Institute of Buddhist Dialectics in Dharamsala, India, under the auspices of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.

We are dedicated to the study and practice of Tibetan Buddhism, in the tradition of the Gelugpa School, founded by Lama Je Tsong Khapa in the 15th century. We welcome practitioners from all lineages.
