Mission
The Tibetan Association of Washington is committed to preserving Tibetan culture, language, identity while promoting peace, compassion, harmony. Guided by Dalai Lama’s teachings, we strive to create welcoming community fostering cultural pride, mutual respect. Through engaging programs, we nurture unity, spiritual growth.
Sunday School (TLCS)
Our Sunday School nurtures the next generation by teaching Tibetan language, culture, and values. Through engaging lessons and activities, we instill compassion, mindfulness, and a strong sense of identity in our children. Interactive workshops deepen their connection to Tibetan heritage and community.
Green book
Tibetans who contribute to the Chatrel are issued a Green Book, serving as a key document for exiled Tibetans to exercise rights granted by the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA). Looking ahead, it could potentially support claims for Tibetan citizenship. Contributing this voluntary payment is also necessary to gain voting privileges in parliamentary elections.
Community Center
Our Community Center (MEWON SISHU TSOGKHANG) is a vibrant hub for Tibetans and friends to connect, celebrate, and learn. It hosts cultural events, workshops, and gatherings that strengthen our community and promote the values of peace and unity.
Join us in preserving our heritage and building a compassionate community!
