Our purpose

Manjushree Hermitage is a place for people to come for regular Buddhist meditation, study, practice, and retreat in Northwest Indiana.
The center offers the Buddhist teachings of Venerable Shyangwa Tulku Lama Rinpoche (Shangpa Rinpoche) and other Master teachers of the Karma Kagyu lineage.

“If we regularly put in the effort like the continuous flow of a river, one day we would certainly be able to lessen all faults and develop more enlightened qualities.”

Shangpa Rinpoche
