Siddhartha Foundation International is the Main Center for the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa in the United States
Siddhartha Foundation International was founded to establish a public meditation center for the study and practice of the Dharma, offer a place of inspiration to address challenging issues facing our global community and construct a Stupa of Enlightenment. Siddhartha Foundation International also serves as the main center of the 17th Karmapa Thaye Dorje in the United States
The first phase of Siddhartha Foundation International's project will include construction of a stupa and necessary site work and infrastructure. Later phases will include construction of a public meditation hall, library, Siddhartha Foundation International staff housing and short-term retreat facilities.
A 501c3 Non-Profit Charitable Organization, Siddhartha Foundation International supports the activities of the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa Trinley Thaye Dorje.
Establishing a library for the preservation, study and translation of Dharma texts is of prime interest to Siddhartha Foundation International. For more information, please visit the Siddhartha Foundation International website.
