The South Carolina Dharma Group originated in 2000 with a group of students who had interest in Tibetan Buddhism. Originally we traveled to Charleston, SC to study with the Venerable Geshe Dakpa Topgyal, the Resident Teacher of the Charleston Tibetan Society, a group studying Tibetan Buddhism in the Gelukpa tradition (the tradition now headed by Hi...
In 2001, as our group increased in size to 10 or 15, we began to rent the library of the Unitarian-Universalist Fellowship building for the teachings and worship. We incorporated as a religious organization, began contributing regular dues, and elected our first Board of Directors. We sponsored a public talk by Geshe Dakpa Topgyal, and began work f...
In 2002, we continued to meet at the the library of the Unitarian-Universalist Fellowship building for the teachings and worship. Geshe Dakpa Topgyal was able to arrange for a monk to come from Drepung Loseling monastery in India, and Geshe Nawang Phuntsok arrived that year. We introduced him to the community in Columbia with an event that was also...
In Geshe Phuntsok returned to Columbia and continued to offer class on meditation, Buddhist theory, and Tibetan language. Since the membership had grown and we needed a residence for our teacher, we rented a house at 1320 Brennen Road in Columbia. We held another dinner to celebrate Losar, and we continued to have regular visits from Geshe Dakpa To...
Geshe Phuntsok continued to teach classes on meditation, Buddhist theory (Lam Rim), and Tibetan language, and also spent time in Charleston and in India, studying. Again we sponsored a Losar celebration and also held fundraising yard sales, as well as working with a local fireworks company to raise funds to pay rent, etc. We began an outreach to in...
Geshe Phuntsok’s visa had reached its limit and he returned to India, leaving us with no resident teacher. We continued to meet regularly for meditation led by members of the Board and other senior students, and to study mediation and Lam Rim with Geshe Dakpa Topgyal, who visited from Charleston. Four more members took refuge in fall of 2005. Again...
In 2006, a possible teacher was located at Drepung Loseling monastery, Geshe Sherab Gyaltsen. He arrived in October and began studying English and offering meditation sessions and Tibetan language classes. We began to search for a larger and more appropriate location, and hope to move in early 2007. Also in 2006, we again offered the Losar celebrat...
Introductory classes in meditation were offered, with so much interest that three different series were held. We again offered the Losar celebration and had yard sales to raise funds. Geshe Topgyal visited from Charleston and we attended retreats with the Charleston Tibetan Society. We elected a new Board at the annual membership meeting and held m...
We again had yard sales to raise funds. Geshe Topgyal visited from Charleston and we attended retreats with the Charleston Tibetan Society. We elected a new Board at the annual membership meeting and held monthly open Board meetings. Geshe Sherab returned to India in July. Additional fund-raising was done by selling fireworks with John Casey, and t...
SCDG began to rent a room in the building at 2222 Devine Street, near Five Points. The I29 and visa for Geshe Jampa were approved, and he arrived in the late fall. Members of SCDG met with the Radiant Mind Retreat Center group from CTS and worked on plans. SCDG held an informational meeting at Seibels House and invited members of the community. Los...
