I have studied Tibetan buddhism at a great many places and the TMC is where I have settled on my future. The resident Khenpo is amazing and relates very well to his students. There is a Buddhism 101 class there that runs about ten weeks and it’s taught by a practitioner named Lance who teaches quite well. I recently bought a house near TMC, I am so convinced. The sangha is very welcoming and established. You will enjoy TMC and learn quite a bit in the process.
