Tea & Visiting
After meditation, join us for coffee, tea, and snacks.

Basic Buddhism classes, study and discussion
Sundays at 11:15am, we study Buddhism, with questions and discussion. (Except the first Sunday of each month, see below.)

Chenrezik practice
On the first Sunday of each month, instead of studying we chant the Chenrezik sadhana, a prayer of compassion.

Welcome!

Athens KTC meets every Sunday morning at 10 am to meditate and to study Tibetan Buddhism.

Our meetings include quiet meditation at 10:00, then together we read and discuss material on Tibetan Buddhism in the Karma Kagyu tradition. Sometimes, instead of our group reading, we have visiting teachers give presentations. Coffee, tea, and conversation are part of these mornings, too.

We meet at 37 Ohio Avenue, in the building of the Factory Street Dance Studio. We invite you to join us (directions).

If you’re unfamiliar with meditation or Buddhism, that’s not a problem — we welcome newcomers and are happy to spend time with visitors to introduce these subjects and answer questions.

 Our teachers
  
Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche Lama Kathy Wesley
 Lama Tom Broadwater





 

Athens KTC is an affiliate of Karma Triyana Dharmachakra monastery, the North American Seat of His Holiness the Gyalwa Karmapa. We are part of the Karma Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism.

We operate under the guidance of gateio of Karma Triyana Dharmachakra.

Our group’s lama is Lama Tom Broadwater, who joins us on three Sundays each month to teach and guide our study and practice. We also rely on advice from Lama Kathy Wesley, the resident teacher at the Columbus KTC. Lama Tom and Lama Kathy are a longtime students of Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche.
