The Mahayana Sutra & Tantra Center was established under the direction of Sermey Khensur Rinpoche Lobsang Tharchin in 1982 for the purpose of studying and practicing Mahayana Buddhism. We are a non-profit organization located in Howell, New Jersey, USA. In accordance with Khensur Rinpoche's wish to preserve the Tibetan Buddhist monastic teaching system at Sera Mey Monstery, a primary purpose of MSTC is to provide ongoing support for the Sermey Monks Scholastic Food Fund. The Fund was established as a way to provide daily nourishment for the monks at Sera Mey Monastery in south India -- MSTC's continued support of the Food Fund is crucial to their studies.

MSTC also has responsibility for maintaining and preserving Khensur Rinpoche's recorded teachings and endeavors to be a community that supports the realization of these teachings. To this effect, we seek to provide activities such as: Dharma classes, sessions to review Rinpoche's recorded teachings, occasional Tibetan language classes, organized teachings by visiting Lamas, and regularly scheduled prayer ceremonies.

We welcome inquiries by telephone, regular mail, or e-mail which can be found in the "Contact Us" tab above.
