Tibet House

With the Dalai Lama as the patron of its board, this nonprofit cultural space is dedicated to presenting Tibet’s ancient traditions through art exhibits, a research library and various publications, while programs on offer include educational workshops, open meditations, retreat weekends and docent-led tours to Tibet, Nepal and Bhutan. Exhibits here tend to attract a diverse and passionate crowd, and have recently ranged from ‘Modern Buddhist Visions by Pema Namdol Thaye, ’ with traditional Tibetan tangka painting and sculpture, to ‘Masterpieces of Contemporary Buddhist and Hindu Tantric Art, ’ featuring works from a special collection.
