Dechen Ling Buddhist Center is a meditation center in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Our spiritual director and resident teacher is Lama Gelong Lobsang Choephel (also known as Gen-la), a highly respected Tibetan Buddhist monk, physician, yogi, and astrologer.
Dechen Ling provides teachings and empowerments within the Gelug tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. Dechen Ling also offers support for the Buddhist community by assisting with private retreats, pujas (rituals), healings, and special ceremonies during Buddhist holidays.
Dechen Ling oversees the Ganden Kachoe Project, a charitable project working to re-establish a devastated Tibetan monastery in exile. Since 1999, Dechen Ling has also served as the Seattle organizers for the performing monks of the Gaden Shartse Monastery during their annual American tours.
