KTC Wichita exists to make the authentic Karma Kagyu lineage available to anyone who wishes to study and practice it.  To that end, we host several events to support your practice and study of Tibetan Buddhism, to build community among Sangha members, and to facilitate the running of the center.  Unless otherwise noted, all events are located at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, 7404 Killarney, west of Rock Rd. between Central and 13th.  For information, call 682-7632, or e-mail: KKSG_Wichita@yahoo.com.  

Throughout the year, we offer classes in Buddhist studies, taught by senior members of the KTC.  These classes provide a gradual, systematic approach to learning the Dharma.  Classes cover Hinayana teachings and practice, Mahayana teachings and practice, Buddhist philosophy, and an introduction to Vajrayana.  There are prerequisites for many of these classes.  

The Kagyu Lineage.  We are currently offering a series of classes on the Kagyu Lineage, which is the lineage studied and practiced at KKSG Wichita.  This class looks at the major figures and practices of the Kagyu Lineage.  There is no charge for these classes.  

Meditation Retreats/Workshops

Our center offers opportunities to deepen your meditation experience through short meditation retreats.  Sometimes these retreats may be combined with instruction and discussion, particularly for new participants.  Our next retreat will be scheduled after Lama Kathy Wesley's visit.  

Other Events
