Jowo Rinpoche

An unprecedented cultural phenomenon is taking place in the United States: A full-size replica of Tibet's most revered statue, the Jowo Rinpoche, has been installed at the Jokhang Institute, a Tibetan Buddhist organization in Arlington, Massachusetts.

This arrival is the first stage in the creation of a United States Buddhist pilgrimage site in which seekers of all traditions can benefit from the rich, spiritual, cultural and artistic heritage of Tibet. Learn More

Currently the Jowo Rinpoche is located at the Jokhang Institute, 15 Bartlett Avenue in Arlington, Massachusetts.

As part of the Jokhang Institute, The Drikung Meditation Center conducts a weekly schedule of meditation practice at this location. the Jokhang Institute’s mission is to provide educational and spiritual facilities and outreach to the community through the creation of the US Jowo Rinpoche pilgrimage Site.

Those wishing to visit the statue are welcome to attend any regularly scheduled practice. You can also phone (888) 583-7164 or email to schedule a viewing time. Watch the Video Tour

The Jowo Rinpoche Statue needs a larger permanent building in order to fulfill its mission.
