Testimonials: Dawa Tarchin Phillips is a brilliant teacher! ... I am amazed by his consistent ability to speak and to listen with utmost presence and clarity. His extensive knowledge of the Buddhist tradition is clearly apparent, but so is his ability to interweave that with practice that allows students to not just hear, but also experience and feel the teachings in real time. Most of all, I treasure Dawa's compassion and warmth.

Dawa has a very direct ability to speak to each individual in a way that hits home, while resonating with all the others in the room.

The Santa Barbara Bodhi Path Buddhist Center offers a high quality curriculum of instruction in Buddhist meditation practice and philosophy. The Center was founded in 1997 at the direction of Shamar Rinpoche. Since then, hundreds of students have come to learn and practice in a modern, non-sectarian environment focused on authentic Buddhist teachings taught and practiced by authentic teachers. We are a diverse community of practitioners encompassing all ages and levels of practice. Dawa Tarchin Phillips is the resident teacher, and we regularly host visiting teachers.
