The Dalai Lama appointed Arjia Rinpoche director of the center in 2006, adding “Mongolian” to the center’s name and mission to honor Rinpoche’s heritage. He is a Tibetan Lama of Mongolian descent. The Dalai Lama has visited the center six times since its founding. Anyone is welcome to attend the TMBCC’s Sunday morning Buddhist teachings or Wednesday evening meditation classes.
