Mission
Dawn Mountain modernizes Tibetan Buddhist foundational training on love, trust, connectedness, and joyful appreciation of life and teaches them to people of all ages. We seek to inspire all we engage with to develop these skills, particularly mindfulness and compassion.
Program accomplishments
- As the largest portal for authentic Tibetan thought, practice, and meditation in Houston, Dawn Mountain teaches students locally in person and globally online via weekend workshops, lectures, classes, and regular meetings archived on YouTube. Programs are attended by a broad spectrum of ethnic, socioeconomic, and religiously affiliated adults, teens, and children. Approximately 3,500 people were served in 2025. As our programs grow, they are archived online on YouTube. The annual viewership increased from 23,300 views in 2016 to 35,355 in 2025. The Research Institute supports translating, archiving, and preserving crucial parts of the Tibetan tradition in Western Languages with practice texts translated into chant-able English. We provide subsidies for people who are unable to pay for programs.Expenses $98,849 · revenue $17,772
