Do Ngak Kunphen Ling Tibetan Buddhist Center for Universal Peace

The Do Ngak Kunphen Ling Tibetan Buddhist Center for Universal Peace (DNKLTBCFUP) is a Tibetan Buddhist retreat center located in Redding, Connecticut. It offers classes and meditation retreats in the Geluk tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.

History

The grounds of DNKLTBCFUP were once part of the estate of John Read, after whom Redding was named. They later served as the residence of Maurice Pate, founding director of UNICEF, the United Nation's Children's Fund. DNKLTBCFUP was established in the 1990s as the Godstow Retreat Center by Geshe Michael Roach, with whom it is no longer affiliated. The name of the center was changed in 2006.
