Afterwards, discussions will provide time to explore different aspects of meditation and allow for any questions. This is a great time for newcomers interesred in learning how to meditate, for experienced meditators looking to develop their practice further, or for any community members looking for a quiet space for meditation.

On Wednesdays KTC offers the Medicine Buddha meditation practice followed by a book discussion. The Medicine Buddha is a chanted meditation. Although a more advanced practice, all are welcome to join for the meditation and/or the book discussion. Currently, the book discussion group is reading "Karmapa 900" which gives an overview of the Karma Kagyu School of Tibetan Buddhism. This is the 900th year celebration of this tradition, one of the four main branches of Tibetan Buddhism. See www.karmapa900.org/ for more information on this book and topic.
