About the Center

Shamar Rinpoche founded the Martha’s Vineyard Bodhi Path Buddhist Center in 1999. We are located in West Tisbury, Massachusetts on a secluded wooded property that offers a peaceful, serene environment. Our meditation hall provides a warm and comfortable space for Dharma activity, which includes our three weekly hour-long meditation sessions. We welcome experienced practitioners, total beginners and everyone in-between.

Many students have come to learn and practice in our friendly, non-sectarian environment focused on Buddhist teachings, taught by authentic Dharma teachers and Rinpoches throughout the year. Click on Teachers on the website to “meet” our Bodhi Path teachers.

We have great respect and appreciation for Lama Yeshe Drolma, who was our resident teacher for the past two decades, and who shared her warmth, wisdom and meditation experience with the Vineyard community so generously.
