Throughout the year, the Maui Dharma Center offers special events by hosting visiting teachers, celebrating special holy days related to Buddha Shakyamuni’s life and teachings and for developing awareness, compassion and wisdom.

Whether you’re visiting from far away or live on Maui, attending an event is a wonderful way to get in touch with the rich and meditative tradition of Tibetan Buddhism at Maui’s only Tibetan Buddhist temple. A sacred land in the heart of Paia town, blessed by many renowned teachers.

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 Vajrayana tradition.

The Maui Dharma Center is a registered nonprofit organization, which celebrated its 50th Anniversary in 2024. The Center follows the teachings of Buddha Shakyamuni, the historical Buddha known as Gautama Siddhartha, who lived over 2,600 years ago. Our mission is to study, integrate, and share these ancient, humanitarian and altruistic spiritual teachings into everyday modern life.
