Building Compassionate Community
Aspen tibet House
The goal
"When you have a peaceful and tamed mind, life is more pleasant for your friends, spouse, parents, children, and acquaintances; your home is quiet, and all who live there enjoy an excellent sense of relaxation. Upon entering your house, others feel a sense of happiness."
-His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
-His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
May all be free from suffering
Aspen Tibet has been directed with the mission of establishing a center in Aspen to house a safe and supportive contemplative space for the exploration of individual and societal wisdom, to support the transformation of suffering, and to promote harmony, health, prosperity, peace and freedom while bestowing blessings upon the surrounding environment and those who visit.
The Center will welcome all people with inspiration, interest and curiosity about the nature of self and society and aim to offer an oasis for relaxing into our basic goodness, rediscovering a sense of balance and appreciating the sacredness of our world.
“Tibetan culture is a culture of peace and non-violence; it’s a culture of compassion.
More and more people are coming to appreciate such values.”
–His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama

Included in our mission will also be the goal of sharing with the world the precious teachings of the Buddha Dharma including teachings such as the essential Lam Rim (Stages of the Path) and lo-jong (mind training) texts and to invite eminent dharma masters.
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama is actively working to support the development of American Buddhism. This center will support this goal by organizing seminars, talks, workshops, conferences, and retreats. Aspen Tibet House will enhance the development of American Buddhism and enable fulfillment in all who participate in its creation.
People of all walks of life are magnetically drawn to the sights, sounds, and sensations of Tibetan culture creating a deep need to understand more while also connecting to the familiar oneness found within us all.
When Tibetans visit the valley, the striking high altitude mountains enveloped by sweeping bluebird skies stir a deep connection to the "motherland." Let's root into our local motherland by housing a compassionate community of support and education.
Aspen Tibet looks forward to illuminating the Compassion within us all. Compassion is enlightened within; Aspen Tibet House will allow us to live with ourselves and together safely and harmoniously caring for one another and benefiting the world at large.
