Who We Are
In 2006 two Tibetan Buddhist monks, Geshe Drakpa Gelek and Lama Passang Gelek, began teaching Buddhism to students in the San Antonio area. Over the years the group evolved into its current form, currently under the spiritual guidance of Geshe Lobsang Nima.
​

​All Are Welcome
TBCWP meetings are open to students of every level of interest. Most sessions are offered both in-person and via ZOOM. In addition to weekly Sunday classes, occasional gatherings include meditation, yoga, social events and prayers. Retreats and workshops are also offered at our North-Central San Antonio gathering location.
Compassionate San Antonio
Having signed and adopted the principals laid out in The Charter for Compassion, the Alamo City aspires to be a model both within its government offices and outside across the community. San Antonio city leaders have engaged in this global movement to adopt ethics and compassion as guiding principals.
