In 1996 Jesus Christ, the Buddha Maitreya, established the Church of Shambhala Vajradhara Maitreya Sangha, a 501c(3) non-profit American Buddhist Church, offering the opportunity for western students to lead more spiritual and service orientated lives. The Church represents both East and West and the tenets of Christianity and Buddhism, with charitable activity and harmlessness as the fundamental teachings. Around this time, Buddha Maitreya also started up the registered UK charity "The New Group of World Servers Trust" and a Dharma Center in Glastonbury. There are currently two remote Dharma Centers located in Omaha, Nebraska, US and Glastonbury, Somerset, UK.

The Soul Therapy Centers are open to the public daily. The Shambhala Planetary Healing Monastery is a working monastery, spiritual retreat, and life-extending wellness center – if you would like to visit, please contact us directly, as visits are by application & invitation only – Thank You!
