Goals of the Organization

The Overall goal is to share technologies and new forms of energetic meditation and self healing tools. Along with expanding our funding for the various phases of our Western Monastic Community.

Although to date most of our projects have been focused outside of the U.S, we are working on the architectural design of the first phase of a Western Monastic Teaching Center which would include a Monk and Nun's Residence and Retreat Center in Northern California. This property would become the Church's new base and the first prototype of an alternative Monastic Community using solar pyramid domes and state of the art electric and electric plug-in hybrid transportation in a healthy community centered around a new way of being of service to the planet, Soulful Living

History of the Organization

The Church was founded by His Holiness Sanat Maitreya Kumara, the Buddha Maitreya. He is recognized within Tibetan Buddhism as a Tulku or a reincarnated High Lama, a 'precious jewel'. A Tulku is the Tibetan Buddhist equivalent of a Christian Saint, except with the understanding that when Tulkus die, they reincarnate and continue their service to humanity in their successive lives. Tulkus are of great importance within Tibetan Buddhism as they are a profound source of loving wisdom, which radiates out as the ability to bless, heal and raise up all of humanity and the kingdoms in nature.

H. H. Buddha Maitreya is a Western Tulku was born in U.S. state Oregon in 1951. The Church of Shambhala Vajradhara Maitreya Sangha represents both East and West and the tenets of Christianity and Buddhism, with a focus on charitable activity as one of the fundamental necessities of personal and planetary healing.

Although incorporated in 1996, our actual charitable activities began prior to this date. His Holiness Buddha Maitreya consolidated his work of helping exiled Tibetan Refugees and Tibetan Monasteries from 1994 onwards, when he established the first Dharma Center in Kathmandu, Nepal. The scope of our activities has greatly expanded since that time, and now includes over 25 monastic building and refurbishing projects throughout Tibet, China, India and Nepal; as well as providing lifesaving assistance in the form of food, shelter, healthcare and education to communities and hundreds of individuals in these countries. From a single 'Dharma/Meditation' center in Nepal, we have added 3 Dharma centers in the United States, as well as centers in the United Kingdom, and India.

The Church of Shambhala Vajradhara Maitreya Sangha is an authorized tax exempt non-profit organization based in California. The Church was incorporated as a non-profit organization in 1996, and in 2000 was granted tax exempt status as a 501(c)(3) organization. EIN #680396112
