Our Team

Rangjung Yeshe Gomde California is a Tibetan Buddhist center under the spiritual direction of Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche. We are dedicated to preserving, transmitting, and translating the complete Buddhist path, and cultivating scholar-practitioners. We nurture the direct experience of the Buddhist teachings for the benefit of all beings by providing a home where the Dharma can take root and flourish. Gomde California’s board, staff, and volunteers have dedicated themselves to fulfilling this mission.
