Our Dedicated Temple Team
At the heart of our temple community beats a spirit of selfless service. Our devoted volunteers embody the Buddhist path through their daily commitment to supporting the dharma and serving all who seek refuge here.
Our Spiritual Leaders
Gen Rinpoche Geshe Yeshi Thabkhe is our spiritual pillar and guidance, our precious Guru whose wisdom illuminates our path.
His Eminence Gala Tulku Rinpoche, our spiritual director and founder, serves as our main resident teacher, offering continuous guidance and teachings that nourish our practice.
Geshe Tsering Phuntsok la oversees the management and maintenance of our center, ensuring our sacred space remains a refuge for all practitioners.
Visiting Masters
Geshe Tenzin Sangay and Geshe Tenpa Lektsok grace us with their mastery of chanting, rituals, and puja, bringing the profound beauty of Tibetan Buddhist ceremony to life.
Translation & Communication
Mr. Tung Vu, our Vietnamese translator, bridges languages and hearts, ensuring the Buddha’s teachings flow freely to our Vietnamese-speaking sangha.
Venerable Su Co Nhat Hanh, our visiting translator, brings wisdom and authentic transmission across linguistic boundaries.
Katrina Brooks, our official English translator, skillfully renders sacred teachings into clear, resonant English for Western practitioners.
Temple Operations
Hanh Van serves as Rinpoche’s personal assistant and scheduler, orchestrating temple life with devoted attention, ensuring teachings and activities flow harmoniously.
Kitchen Team
Lan Bui, Hoa, and Kim Nguyen form our kitchen team, transforming simple ingredients into nourishing offerings. In Buddhist tradition, those who prepare food for the sangha accumulate immeasurable merit, sustaining both body and spirit.
The Gift of Service
Through their dedication, our volunteers walk the bodhisattva path, discovering profound benefits: accumulating merit, dissolving ego, developing wisdom, and experiencing the deep joy that comes from serving something greater than oneself. They demonstrate that enlightenment lives not only in meditation, but in the humble act of showing up with open hearts to serve the Three Jewels.
Their commitment keeps the dharma flame burning brightly for all who seek the path to liberation.
