On Wednesdays KTC offers the Medicine Buddha meditation practice followed by a book discussion. The Medicine Buddha is a chanted meditation.

Visit to Karma Triyana Dharmachakra (KTD) Nov, 18-20
As has been the tradition of our center, KTC members visit KTD several times a year. KTD is one of the few traditional monasteries in the U.S. Attending a weekend teaching (series of lectures) is a wonderful way to experience the Tibetan Buddhist tradition more fully. The teaching on the weekend of November 18-20 will focus on the lives of the Karmapas, the spiritual leader of the Karma Kagyu tradiation. Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche, the abbot of the monastery, will present the teaching. Members will carpool for the drive to KTD located near Woodstock,NY. It is approximately a 7 hour drive one way. Prices for the teaching and accomodations can be found on the KTD website. For more information on KTD, Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche, and the weekend teaching go tohttp://www.kagyu.org/ktd. Depending on schedules members will will leave around 11 am on Friday, November 18 in order to arrive for the first lecture in the evening at 7 pm. and return to Indiana either on Sunday afternoon or Monday morning. It is not necessary to be a member of KTC or KTD to attend join this event. If you are interested, please contact Linda Jennings at ljenning@iup.edu.
