The Thubten Dhargye Ling Buddhist Center was founded in 1978 by Geshe Gyeltsen at the “urging of his students,” according to the Los Angeles Times. The center, which was originally located in Los Angeles, relocated to its present location in Long Beach, California, in 1996.
Geshe Gyeltsen died at the center in February 2009 at the age of 85.
Thupsung Dhargye Ling is a hub of Tibetan culture and Buddhist learning for laypeople as well as the ordained, to ensure that the Buddha’s speech may flourish for future generations.
