Every Saturday for 7 years now, Ven Lobzang Dorje has been teaching an Intro to Buddhism class. Everyone is welcome and the class requires no previous knowledge of Buddhism.Some of the essential Buddhist topics include, but are not limited to, determining what makes one a Buddhist, the nature of suffering, the importance of a spiritual guide, refuge, karma and rebirth, loving-kindness, compassion and Bodhichitta, meditation, and the wisdom realizing emptiness. The goal is to help participants integrate the teachings into their daily lives by providing the time to address questions at the end of each session.

In 2002, he received getsul vows (novice) in Kathmandu, Nepal and gelong vows (full ordination) in Switzerland from Kyabje Dagom Rinpoche in 2005. While he has studied with and has received numerous empowerments from many Gelupa teachers, he also had the opportunity to study at Rangjung Yeshe Institute, Centre of Buddhist Studies in Kathmandu, where he studied Tibetan and Buddhist Philosophy.
As the founder of Dagom Geden Kunkyob Ling, Ven. Lobzang Dorje fulfills a dream to provide a space where the Buddhaโs teaching will be made available to an urban audience, particular to minority members and to members of other underrepresented communities. He also dreams of establishing a community support center that embraces and employs the ideals of socially engaged Buddhism, concerned with racial and gender equality, as well as issues of poverty, crime, and justice.
