Buddhism in Costa Rica - Tibetan Buddhism

Tibetan Buddhism

In Costa Rica there are a few centers of Tibetan Buddhism; the best known is the "Asociación Cultural Tibetano-Costarricense" (Tibetan-Costarrican Cultural Association), which was established in 1989 CE after the first visit of the XIV Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso in Latin America. Years later, in 2004 CE the XIV Dalai Lama revisited Costa Rica. He gave some discourses, including one in the University of Costa Rica.

There is also a Diamond Way Buddhist Center in Curridabat San José (Karma Kagyu lineage).
