An unexpected sewer line break has forced us to close the Rime Center last Wednesday while emergency repairs were underway.
The cost to repair the damage is $11,700—an unplanned expense we cannot meet alone. We urgently need your support to restore our space and reopen as quickly as possible.
If you are able, please consider making a donation today. Every gift—no matter the size—directly supports these essential repairs.

Available March 3, 2026On the auspicious occasion of Chotrul Düchen, the Rime Buddhist Center is honored to announce the release of Entering the Mandala: Foundations for the Vajrayāna Path.
This book offers a clear, grounded, and accessible introduction to the Vajrayāna Buddhist path. Designed for sincere practitioners and curious seekers alike, Entering the Mandala introduces the essential view, symbolism, devotional orientation, and ethical foundations necessary for engaging Vajrayāna practice with confidence and care.
Rather than presenting Vajrayāna as distant or esoteric, this book invites readers to understand it as a living path of transformation—one rooted in compassion, wisdom, and sacred perception.
Released in honor of Chotrul Düchen, a powerful day for practice and positive aspiration.
Available through the Rime Buddhist Center Gift Shop or online at Amazon.
