Norling Project has been a dream of the Tibetan Association of Washington and the local Tibetans for many years. It is a project to build a Community Center for the preservation and promotion of our unique Tibetan culture. The founders of the Association and the younger community leaders through the decades have all strived to realize the same dream. As the local Tibetan community is growing in the Greater Seattle area, the need for a Community Center is also growing.
The Community Center will serve as a platform for local Tibetans and Buddhists to learn about Tibetan culture, language, history and religion. The Center will also be used as a place for them to hold important religious & cultural events, educational seminars & workshops, and social events.
Why we need it?
Religious & Cultural Festivities …
A place for the Buddhist community to hold Buddhist festivities & prayers, and where spiritual masters and scholars can provide teachings and blessings to people from all backgrounds.
Educational Activities …
A place for Tibetan Culture School to help its students learn not only Tibetan language, history, religion and cultural heritage but instill in them basic values of love and compassion. A place to teach our younger generations principles of universal responsibility in order to help them make positive contributions in the world.
Community Gatherings …
A place for people to connect with each other, participate in social activities, share their knowledge and wisdom to the younger generations while getting involved in many important community activities.
