Through a dream of unusual flat-topped mountains and small cone shaped shelters hidden among many green trees, the Venerable Zasep Tulku Rinpoche first became aware of a place called Thunder Bay. Rinpoche came here in 1981 at the request of his Canadian students and friends.  As a result, many people began meditating together weekly. 

Potala Meditation Centre is located on the rugged shores of Lake Superior, surrounded by boreal forests growing from the ancient glacier swept rock. Our Centre is devoted to the practice and teaching of Tibetan Buddhism.
