Located on the beautiful Hawaiian Valley Isle, Maui Dharma Center is a place for the study and practice of Tibetan Buddhism in the Karma Kagyu & Shangpa Kagyu Vajrayana tradition.

The Center follows the teachings of Buddha Shakyamuni, the historical Buddha known as Gautama Siddhartha Buddha, who lived over 2,500 years ago. Our mission is to study, integrate, and share these ancient, humanitarian and altruistic spiritual teachings into everyday modern life.
