All are welcome to attend the Lehigh Valley Buddhist Group’s monthly Sunday Sangha series. We have the great honor of welcoming back the Venerable Lama Losang Samten to lead the Sangha. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet and practice with an inspiring teacher who has helped to spread Buddhism throughout North America for decades. Sangha is open to Buddhist and non-Buddhist alike. Attendance at this time is in-person only. If you have questions please use the contact link on the website.

Venerable Lama Losang Samten has been sharing teachings of loving-kindness, joy and compassion, as well as the path to enlightenment for almost 30 years. Losang lived and studied over 20 years in the Namgyal Monastery (the monastery of His Holiness the Dalai Lama) earning the highest degree attainable at the monastery, equivalent to a doctoral degree in the West. He also became a Master of Ritual Dance and Sand Mandalas and was the Personal Attendant to His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama prior to moving to the United States in 1988. Ven. Losang Samten is one of the Mandala Masters who created the first public sand mandala in the West in 1988. Samten is the spiritual director of several Buddhist Centers in North America, with a home base residing in Philadelphia. To learn more please visit his website: http://www.losangsamten.com/

* Sangha is a Sanskrit word used to describe a community that comes together to practice and study Buddhism.
