Introduction to Ayurveda and the Pranavayus

The Gampopa Center is a spiritual community and a place where we learn and practice the teachings of Buddha. Founded in 2009, we hold teachings and practices of meditation and other Dharma practices several times a week at our center located in the Eastport neighborhood of Annapolis, Maryland. Lama Phurbu Tashi Rinpoche teaches and leads the programs when he is in Annapolis. From the start Rinpoche has stated “My intention to teach here is to bring some spiritual benefits to the material world. Not for any other reason, not even to establish Buddhist communities or turn the people on to my way. Although still of course I teach meditation according to Buddha’s teachings, otherwise it wouldn’t help you if I teach something from my own ideas; because I am not an enlightened being. The teachings of the Enlightened One (Buddha) is proved by countless thousands of great scholars and enlightened beings. This the way to cultivate wisdom, compassion, and enlighten ourselves; this is the way that can bring us peace, happiness and freedom of suffering.”
