Welcome

Those with little or no knowledge of Buddhism are welcome at the Chenrezig Project. We believe there is a simple, universal message in Tibetan Buddhism that can benefit everyone, regardless of faith or background. Our work is learning how to turn knowledge into practice — practice that combines our intentions and actions in dedication to the benefit of ourselves, our friends and loved ones, our community and our world.

It is not our intention to “convert” people from their faith or religion to Buddhism. Rather, we believe people are best served by learning (and practicing) Buddhism’s ideas and methods and then integrating those they find to be compatible into their own lives and faith-based practices. While we do have an understanding of what the Buddha taught, we are not a Buddhist only group. We welcome people from all facets of faith or religion. We recognize we are all learning together and talking about things of great value to everyone, regardless of religion or faith.
