About

Dharmata Canada is a Canadian non-profit organization under the guidance of Anam Thubten Rinpoche and the Dharmata Foundation. Its present sangha is Dharmata Moncton, located at Dudjom Ling Temple, Moncton, New Brunswick. It is welcoming to and supportive of the development of other Dharmata sanghas in Canada.
