Buddhist Meditation Centre

Founded in 1982, the Albuquerque Karma Tegsum Chöling (KTC) is an affiliate center of Karma Triyana Dharmachakra (KTD), the North American seat of His Holiness the Gyalwa Karmapa. We follow the spiritual guidance of the 17th Karmapa, Orgyen Trinley Dorje, as well as Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche, abbot of KTD Monastery, and the Lamas and teachers of KTD.

Visit the Albuquerque KTC to:

• Experience an extraordinary space for group practice.
• Attend visits and teachings by highly respected, authentic Lamas.
• Receive instruction in meditation and Buddhist fundamentals.
• Participate in Buddhist-friendly social activities and outings.
• Establish a personal connection with the Karma Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism, founded in Tibet, 900 years ago!
• We invite you to visit the Albuquerque KTC, the first Tibetan Buddhist center established in Albuquerque. A traditional sadhana practice is held every Wednesday at 6:00 PM (visitors welcome).

The activities of the KTC center depend on donations, and the support and participation of practitioners.

At KTC, we emphasize our direct connection with His Holiness, the Karmapa and the Karma Kagyu Lineage. We practice meditation, tantric sadhanas, and Lojong (Mind Training), with the aim of calming the mind and emotions, and developing spiritual insight and wisdom.

For instruction and guidance, we rely upon the Lamas and teachers of KTD Monastery, who regularly visit our center.
