Welcome!
Songtsen
Gampo Buddhist
Center of
Cleveland was
established under our
Spiritual Director Tulku
Pema Wangyal Rinpoche as
a nonprofit organization
in November, 2008. We
are currently looking to
rent a home for use as
our Center.
Buddhist
nun
Ani Palmo, our resident
teacher and director, is
a native Clevelander who
has been studying
Buddhism since 1988. She
has been teaching
courses in Buddhism and
Meditation in the
Greater Cleveland area
since 2003.
Our
aims for the new Center
are many. We will
provide instruction in
Buddhist meditation and
philosophy in a way that
is applicable to both
non-Buddhists and
Buddhists alike. The
Center will also serve
as the focal point for
forming a true spiritual
community where we can
support one another in
our practice and benefit
the larger community as
well.
Look
forward
with us to making full
use of Songtsen Gampo
Buddhist Center of
Cleveland.
(We'll
soon
have a new website that
reflects our new Center)

WALKING
THE SPIRITUAL PATH
Once we choose
a spiritual path we
need to examine--with
naked honesty--our
approach to walking
that path. "The
problem is that ego
can convert anything
to its own use,"
Chogyam Trungpa
Rinpoche says, "even
spirituality."
