The Dzogchen Community Of New York is part of the International Dzogchen Community which was founded by the Tibetan Buddhist Dzogchen Master Chögyal Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche in 1976. The North American Gar, Tsegyalgar, is located in Conway, MA.

The Dzogchen Community is a non bureaucratic organization and is based on the development of systems of communication which respect the various autonomous local conditions. For Chögyal Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche the various Gars (literally meaning dwelling) make up one great mandala or a network that connects the different geographical areas of the world and to which practitioners can refer as places of study or practice and meditation.
