Padmasambhava Buddhist Center The Padmasambhava Buddhist Center spreads the teachings of Buddhism according to the Nyingma Buddhist school of Tibet. With the encouragement of His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche the Center was first established in New York in 1989 by His Eminence Khenchen Palden Sherab, Rinpoche and Ven. Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal, Rinpoche, fondly known as “The Khenpos.” (Khenpo is Tibetan for “Abbot.”) PBC now includes over 20 centers across the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, Russia and India, as well as monastic institutes in the United States and India.  For general information, please see the PBC site.
