New York Shijay Chod Center was formed after seeing a great need of Chod healer during  Lama Wangdu Norbu Rinpoche's first Visit in the city of NY. After his returning  to California, Rinpoche asked Lama Dawa to guide the New Yorkers who wish to learn and practice Shijay Chod and solid at the end of year 2011 the first group teaching was giving on the pacification of Suffering and cutting the ego.
