Yongey Buddhist Center

As Rinpoche’s first dharma center in the West, we have a long history of supporting the activities and teachings of Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche.  We are the Yongey Buddhist Center, a small Chinese congregation founded by Dorje Palmo who first brought Rinpoche to America over 20 years ago.  We gather for worship services and meditation practice at our Center in the San Francisco South Bay.  We hold meditation retreats at our retreat land Pal Karma Dorje Dzingpa Ling in the mountains of Northern California.  We observe and honor the principles of Buddhism, and practice the teachings of Mingyur Rinpoche.
