What we’re about
Join us for a peaceful and inspiring gathering where we explore the timeless wisdom of Tibetan Buddhism through thoughtful Dharma talks. Whether you’re new to the teachings or have been practicing for years, this is a welcoming space to deepen your understanding and cultivate mindfulness in everyday life.
Ocean of Compassion (Gyalwa Gyatso) Buddhist Center is the Silicon Valley center affiliated with the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition, FPMT.
Since 2007, we have been located in Campbell, a neighborhood of the greater San Jose area, bordering Saratoga and Los Gatos.
We are part of the Gelug lineage of what is usually called “Tibetan” Buddhism. His Holiness the Dalai Lama is the spiritual inspiration for our organization and Kyabje Lama Thubten Zopa Rinpoche is the spiritual director.
Our mission is to preserve and promote the Mahayana Buddhist tradition in Silicon Valley through education, practice and service.
Our center conducts on-going courses in Buddhist philosophy and practice. We also host special events with authentic teachers in our tradition, including Tibetan lamas, qualified international monks and nuns, and experienced Western Dharma students.
