Welcome! Tsechen Kunchab Ling, Temple of All-Encompassing Great Compassion, is the temple seat of His Holiness Sakya Trizin in the United States. His Holiness established the temple in 2001 in order to strengthen the Dharma in North America by creating a place where both renunciates and lay people could gather to practice the Dharma and to devote themselves to study, contemplation, and meditation. He appointed Venerable Khenpo Kalsang Gyaltsen as Vice President and Abbot in charge of the temple.

Tsechen Kunchab Ling temple offers a wide range of classes and overnight retreats for adults, college students, and children in Buddhist philosophy, meditation and is also active in Dharma translation and the religious arts. We are a multi-language temple, with programs in English, Tibetan, and Chinese. A beautiful new shrine hall in traditional Tibetan style is currently under construction and consecration was June 19, 2011.
