Kharchu Ugyen Yoebar Center of New York Inc.  ​

​

Established on July 27, 2019, by His Holiness the Seventh Namkhai Nyingpo Rinpoche, the Kharchu Ugyen Yoebar Center is a non-profit Buddhist organization rooted in the Nyingma tradition, the oldest school of Tibetan Buddhism. The center is dedicated to preserving and propagating the teachings of the *Jangter* (Northern Treasures), an esteemed lineage of revealed texts (*termas*) that rank among the earliest spiritual treasures in Tibetan Buddhism. These teachings, attributed to the 14th-century master Rigdzin Gödem, emphasize profound meditation practices, rituals, and philosophical study central to the Nyingma tradition.

Under the guidance of Namkhai Nyingpo Rinpoche—a revered reincarnate lama and custodian of this lineage—the center fosters spiritual growth through structured programs in Buddhist philosophy, meditation sessions, contemplative practices, and community service. By integrating these activities, the center aims to transmit Tibetan Buddhist values in New York, offering a space for education, inner reflection, and compassionate outreach. Its mission extends beyond spiritual practice to include cultural preservation and intercommunity harmony, serving as a bridge between ancient wisdom and modern urban life.   Through workshops, retreats, and collaborative initiatives, the Kharchu Ugyen Yoebar Center embodies a commitment to nurturing mindfulness, ethical living, and altruism, ensuring the Jangter lineage remains accessible to diverse practitioners in the heart of New York.
