Trashi Gomang is a Buddhist Centre in the Tibetan tradition aimed at helping people realise their greatest potential.
The centre motto is “Dedicated to Good Heart” emphasising the development of compassion and loving kindness conjoined with wisdom. We welcome everyone – from those who have some experience of the Buddha’s teachings to others who are merely curious. Two monks live at the Centre: the Tibetan teacher Geshe Dhonam, a monk for well over 30 years, and Tenzin Chosang, a Kiwi ordained by His Holiness the Dalai Lama in 1997. We provide teachings, meditations, advice and practices suited to whatever level or capability a practitioner may be at.
Open since 1996, Trashi Gomang was founded and developed by Khensur Thabkhey Rinpoche, an ex-abbot of Drepung Gomang monastery in South India, and consecrated by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Khensur Thabkey Rinpoche passed away in 1999 and Geshe Dhonam, who holds the qualification of Lharampa Geshe, the highest in the Tibetan Gelukpa monastic tradition, took over as teacher in 2002 and has become a much respected and loved mentor for the Centre.

We offer everyone an open invitation to visit the centre and everyone is welcome to attend the weekly teachings.
