Mangalam Centers

Located in the heart of downtown Berkeley, two blocks from the UC campus, Mangalam Centers is home to several programs dedicated to the preservation and transmission of Tibetan Buddhist teachings and culture. Our work is carried out by volunteers, both short-term and long-term, or part-time, looking for personal growth, meaningful work and a community that shares their goals. Full-time volunteers receive room & board, a modest stipend and free classes on Buddhism, meditation and Tibetan yoga. Volunteers live at the Nyingma Institute, a twenty-minute walk away.
