What tradition of Buddhism is practiced at Root Institute?
Our teachings, meditations and practices are based on the tradition of Lama Tsong Khapa of Tibet (the Gelugpa School of Tibetan Buddhism), as taught to us by our founder Lama Thubten Yeshe, his reincarnation Lama Osel Rinpoche, and our spiritual director Lama Zopa Rinpoche, all of whom are students of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Practioners of all Buddhist schools as well as non-Buddhists of any nationality and any religion are welcome to visit our facilities, stay in our accommodation, study, meditate and retreat here.
