The mission of the Gyuto Wheel of Dharma Center is to preserve and promote Tibetan Buddhism and to support the Tibetan community in Minneapolis.

The Gyuto Wheel of Dharma Center is a branch monastery of the Gyuto monastery and is the only Tibetan Buddhist monastery of its kind in Minneapolis. It was founded in 1990, with the intent on bringing the tantric traditions of the Gyuto monastery to Minneapolis.

These teachings are translated into English. Staffed by monks from Gyuto monastery, the Center also offers services; from consultations based on Buddhist thoughts, to prayers, traditional funeral services, house blessings, and purifications.
