All are welcome, please click for information.

The Chenrezig Project, formerly known as the Yalaha Tibetan Buddhism Study Group, was established in 2006. We are the first Buddhist dharma organization in Lake County, Florida.

We believe there is a simple, universal message in Buddhism that can benefit everyone, regardless of faith or background.

Honoring the subtlety and depths of Tibetan Buddhist practice, it is our hope and intention to nurture the skillful means for living more mindfully compassionate lives.

Integrating the teachings of the Buddha as living philosophy we support each other, working to expand our knowledge and practice of the Dharma for the benefit of ourselves, our friends and loved ones, our community and sentient beings everywhere.

Our gatherings, currently held on Monday and Wednesday evenings, are relaxed and informal and usually include teachings, discussion and meditation. Everyone should feel welcome to attend -- no matter the level of experience one might have with meditation or Buddhism.

Existing to serve others, the Chenrezig Project has created an environment where people of all interests and inclinations to learn the teachings of the Buddha may do so in safety, comfort and a spirit of fun.

Still a new organization, we look forward to the days ahead as we learn and grow. Please feel free to join us.
