Awakening Young Minds

At Drepung Loseling Institute of Texas, we offer a rare and meaningful opportunity for middle and high school students — a space to explore Tibetan culture, the peace of meditation, and the wisdom of ancient philosophy in a modern world.

In these sessions, young people learn practical ways to find calm and clarity, explore how the mind and heart work together, and reflect on life’s deeper questions. Guided by experienced teachers, they discover tools for inner balance, empathy, and understanding — qualities that support both personal growth and compassionate action.
