Living Well Together at Dharma City
Our Collective Framework for Community Life
Our internal rules are finally here — and we’re so happy to share them with the Sangha! They grew out of our collective reflection and are designed to bring more clarity and harmony to our community life. In the past, we weren’t always fully prepared for every situation; these guidelines help us handle things more thoughtfully and consistently in the future. Think of them as a shared commitment to keeping Dharma City welcoming and peaceful for everyone.
To walk through these guidelines together and answer any questions, we invite you to join us for a presentation on May 3rd at 12:15 in Dharma City. Take a read — and we look forward to seeing you there!

Message from Patrul Rinpoche
Written by Patrul Rinpoche, 28 October 2012 – Letter About the Winter Retreat 2012
If you ask me what I am currently concerned about, I would say that I am deeply concerned about the teachings of the Buddha. The Buddha’s teachings are very, very important for everybody. They are useful not only for us, but beneficial and very important for all sentient beings.
The Black Guru Rinpoche Statues Project
The black diamond-carved Guru Rinpoche statues, which contain iron beads, relics and scriptures, can last for hundreds of years in outdoor environment.
