The Garchen Prescott Sangha is a community of good heart, based in the Prescott, Arizona mountains and desert, and welcoming friends from near and far. We study and practice Dharma on the cushion, in the chair, on our feet; together and in solitude; in our living rooms and at the Garchen Institute; with our families, friends and co-workers; at the delightful Tibet Gallery in downtown Prescott; in the food court at the mall; silently and in dialogue. We regularly offer volunteer service to the Garchen Institute. Our purpose is to expand love and compassion for all, to generate bodhicitta, to practice for awakening in this and all our lives, and to engage in bodhisattva conduct of body, speech and mind for the benefit of all beings.

H.E. Garchen Rinpoche and Lopön Barbara Du Bois are our principal teachers. This year we are enthusiastically expanding our Dharma activities, creating a dynamic, nourishing program of study, practice and community life. We warmly invite you to join us in our Dharma events. Your kind donations support local Dharma activities.
