Chakrasamvara Center began in 2004 after hosting an event for the Dalai Lama and has since grown into a spiritual center in Miami that maintains a daily meditation schedule and hosts teachers. Wheel of Bliss Retreat in North Carolina was acquired in 2012 initially as a retreat space but was opened to other traditions to encourage interfaith fellowship as spiritual growth increases through collaboration. The retreat aims to be good stewards of the land through conservation programs to protect the 63 acre forest and transition to renewable energy while providing a sacred space for visitors.

1. Story Of Wheel Of Bliss

2. Chakrasamvara Center (CSC) began in 2004 after Mai Pham
sponsored and organized “World Peace Through Inner Peace,” an
event for His Holiness The Dalai Lama in Miami. Over the last
decade, CSC has grown into a bustling spiritual center on Miami
Beach that maintains a daily meditation schedule, organizes
special events for the community at large, and hosts esteemed
spiritual teachers.

3. Wheel of Bliss is a poetic translation of the Sanskrit
Chakrasamvara (चक्रसंवर तन्त्र, Tibetan: འཁོར་ལོ་བདེ་མཆོག, English (literal):
Chakra “circle” or “wheel”; Samvara “union” or “collected together”).

4. In 2012, they initially acquired the land in Hot Springs, North
Carolina to serve as a retreat space for their practitioners;
however, after seeing the beneficial impact of interfaith events in
their own city, they felt the need to open the retreat space in the
Blue Ridge mountains to other spiritual traditions and the
community at large.

5. Although their own tradition is Tibetan Buddhism, they strongly
believe in the concept of interfaith fellowship between different
traditions. Following the example of His Holiness The Dalai Lama,
they have worked in fellowship with churches, synagogues,
mosques, Hindu temples, and practitioners from a variety of yogic,
qi gong, and Reiki Traditions.

6. Spiritual growth increases in a tangible way when they step outside
of their own cocoons and collaborate with others. Through
fellowship and dialogue, may they take a step closer towards a
more enlightened society for the benefit of all.

8. GIVING BACK

9. In creating a sacred space for retreatants, they believe that it is
also their duty to be stewards of their 63 acres of land. In 2017,
they have begun implementing programs that will increase the
health and vitality of the forests, waterways, and wildlife on their
land. Currently their land qualifies as a certified Wildlife Habitat
under The National Wildlife Federation.

10. Additionally, their staff is working with local, state, and federal
conversation programs as well as private consultants to create
sanctuaries for endangered species, protect their forests from man
made and natural disasters, and transition to 100% renewable, off-
grid energy sources.
