In 1995, His Holiness the Sakya Trichen bestowed the “Path with Its Result” (Tib. Lamdre) teachings,
at the request of Her Eminence Sakya Jetsun Chimey Luding Rinpoche.

Students gathered from around the world for this precious program in Friday Harbor, Washington.

Welcome!

Our spiritual director, Her Eminence Sakya Jetsun Chimey Luding Rinpoche (Jetsun Kushok), founded Sakya Society in 1988. Sakya Society is a nonprofit organization recognized as tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

For many years, Sakya Society operated Sakya Kachod Choling Retreat Center in Friday Harbor, Washington. That location is now closed.

Jetsun Kushok asked His Holiness the 43rd Sakya Trizin Gyana Vajra Rinpoche to oversee the center’s long-term development. In accordance with His Holiness the 43rd Sakya Trizin Rinpoche’s vision and aspiration, the center will be relocated to develop its facilities and increase the visibility of its physical location.

In the meantime, while we are not currently hosting in-person retreats, our Dharma programs continue online. All are welcome!
