Our Community
Living in community in an isolated place creates long-lasting friendships and a real sense of teamwork. Co-workers feel more like family. The “family feeling” Lama Yeshe spoke of still lives on and prospers at Vajrapani Institute.

Ideal candidates will
- Possess strong communication skills
- Be content with rugged and rustic conditions
- Be comfortable with prolonged relative isolation
- Have a personal spiritual practice
- Possess an attitude of altruism and generosity
- Be proactive and organized
Being a Buddhist is not a requirement for working here. We welcome practitioners from all traditions.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to our remote location all staff need to have their own vehicles.
Study the Dharma
As a member of our team you are welcome to attend any of our programs if it doesn’t conflict with your work schedule. Make sure to mention ahead of time what programs you are most interested in so we can try to make arrangements for you to attend. We have an extensive library with many out of print books, as well as a video library of teachings and documentaries. We have senior practitioners on the land and on staff that are available for interviews and discussions.
