Casa Tibet MĆ©xico (headquartered in theāāColonia Roma of Mexico City) was the third of the Tibet Housesāāto be, "created." It was founded by, the XIV Dalai Lama on his first visitāāto Mexico. One of the main objectives of the Casa Tibet is to combat the esoteric New Age beliefs that surround eastern cosmogony and to disseminate. And preserve true Tibetan culture and spirituality.
The current Director, Lama Marco Antonio Karam, was chosen by the Dalai Lama to head the "Casa Tibet." Another important mission the Casa Tibet participates in is the sponsoring of Tibetan children located in Dharamshala, India. In Mexico, they have given help to street children, Indigenous children and single mothers. The Casa Tibet does not proselytize, but will not refuse an individual wanting to learn about Tibetan ideology.
