Colorful prayer flags above the door of Chagdud Gonpa Amrita are one indication of a new neighbor for nearby residents and other business owners in Firdale Village.
Inside the former office space, the smell of incense lingers in the air. Cushions are stacked neatly along one wall in a room where a photo of the center’s founder, Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche, a meditation master and Tibetan physician, is displayed.
Chagdud Gonpa Amrita began in 1989 as the Seattle branch of the Chagdud Gonpa Foundation that provides teachings and practice in the Nyingma lineage of Tibetan Buddhism.
The center was operated out of a residential home in the Northgate neighborhood until it moved to Edmonds in October, said Lama Padma Gyatso, the center’s coordinator and teacher.
