    My spiritual home for over 20 years. I am so grateful to my teacher Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo, and to all the teachers of the Palyul Lineage of Tibetan Buddhism for bringing the Buddhist path and this place of spiritual refuge to the world. Thank you!

    A place of spiritual refuge for over 25 years for all, with no judgement. There are over 30 Stupas, 24 hour prayer vigil for peace, and countless blessings; all possible because of the infinite kindness of Jetsunma, and her love for all sentient beings.

    KPC has been a haven for my family for over 10 years now. Now with a young child, we hike around the stupas and marvel in the beauty, and give thanks for Jetsama and the community for making this place a continued refuge of peace and thanksgiving for the D.C. area.
