Welcome to KTC Wichita!

Karma Thegsum Choling (KTC) Wichita was founded in 1996 to create an authentic Tibetan Buddhist practice community in the Wichita area. The center is under the spiritual direction of Ven. Bardor Tulku Rinpoche, our guiding teacher, and was founded under the direction of the Ven. Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche, the abbot of Karma Triyana Dharmachakra (KTD), a Tibetan Buddhist monastery and the North American seat of His Holiness the 17th Karmapa, Ugyen Trinley Dorje, in Woodstock, NY.

KTC Wichita provides a place to study and practice the authentic Karma Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. Our center offers a variety of programs including:

regular meditation practice
meditation workshops and individual meditation instruction
Buddhism classes and discussions of Buddhist teachings
visits from authentic Buddhist teachers

Visitors are always welcome. Please call or e-mail for more information

KKSG Wichita is now KTC Wichita.

We have taken the next step in our growth as a center, which is the change from a Karma Kagyu Study Group (KKSG), loosely affiliated with KTD monastery, to Karma Thegsum Choling (KTC) Wichita, which creates a stronger relationship with the main monastery. This is an important change and has some benefits for members:

Our status as a KTC ensures that we continue to receive visits from the guiding lamas at KTD and other teachers. As a result of our changed status, Bardor Tulku Rinpoche is scheduled to return to Wichita in April.
Membership in the KTC includes membership in KTD, entitling members to discounts at most KTD teachings and programs at the main monastery in Woodstock, NY. Membership is currently $15 a month, which goes entirely to support KTD. Support of our KTC is solely through programs and donations at this time.
A KTC is legally incorporated as a non-profit entity, so contributions now become tax-deductible.

This change is one we have looked forward to for a long time, and it wouldn't be possible without the support of our members, old and new. Thanks to everyone for your participation and contributions. May all beings be happy!
