About Maitripa College
Maitripa College is a Tibetan Buddhist graduate school in Portland, Oregon, founded in 2005 on the three pillars of scholarship, meditation, and service. Founded as an offering to Lama Zopa Rinpoche, under the spiritual guidance of Yangsi Rinpoche, our programs integrate rigorous academic study with contemplative practice and compassionate action. Rooted in the lineage of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the FPMT, Maitripa offers a unique environment for students to engage in transformative learning and authentic spiritual development. Through the Maitripa Mandala, our online learning platform, we invite a broader community to connect with this vision and explore the Dharma in meaningful and accessible ways into the future.
