The Gyuto Vajrayana Center was established also with the Tibetan Community in the San Francisco Bay Area in mind. Quite a number of Tibetan refugees live in the Bay Area. Life in exile is still a challenge even though the economic situation has improved quite a bit. It is not always easy to live here and maintain one's cultural and spiritual roots.
Programs for the Tibetan Community
The Gyuto Vajrayana Center addresses those issues and actively promotes programs for the Tibetan Community. The resident Gyuto Monks provide prayer services not only at Tibetan community gatherings but also to private Tibetan homes. Dharma talks for young Tibetans are held at the center on a monthly basis.
