The Tibetan Buddhist Learning Center
The Tibetan Buddhist Learning Center of New Jersey (TBLC) is a Tibetan Buddhist dharma center dedicated to the study, practice, and preservation of the Buddha’s teachings. Originally named the Lamaist Buddhist Monastery of America, it was founded in 1958 through the great efforts of Geshe Ngawang Wangyal, a Kalmyk-Mongolion guru who received his training in Kalmykia and Tibet. TBLC has the distinction of being the first Tibetan Buddhist dharma center in the West. Through its educational programs, TBLC provides regular classes on a wide range of Buddhist topics appropriate for both beginning and advanced level students, regardless of their religious affiliation or background. TBLC also engages in scholarly activities aimed at preserving the Buddhist teachings and making Tibetan scriptures available for English speakers. TBLC has hosted His Holiness the Dalai Lama on seven previous occasions. For more click here.
