May 15 - June 2
His Holiness the 17th Karmapa’s first visit to America!
The 17th Karmapa, head of our Karma Kagyu lineage, is at last able to travel from India to visit the U.S. This is exciting and long-awaited news for Karma Kagyu practitioners. We hope this visit is the first of many to follow soon!
Basic classes
This month we begin our ongoing series of four basic lessons about Buddhism:
The Three Jewels
Life of the Buddha
The Three Vehicles
Understanding Lineage
First Tuesday, 7-9pm
Planning Meeting
All are welcome to our monthly planning meetings at Tom & Sue Erlewine’s house, 47 Maplewood
Every Sunday, 10:00am
At the Factory Street Dance Studio, (on Ohio Street). Directions and map
Shinay Meditation
(tranquility meditation)
We sit for 20 minutes, break for walking meditation for 10 minutes, then sit for another 20 minutes. Newcomers are always welcome, and an introduction to the basics of meditation is offered at no charge.
Tea & Visiting
After meditation, join us for coffee, tea, and snacks.
Basic Buddhism classes
Each Sunday at 11:30 we offer a basic lesson about Buddhism, with a chance for questions.
Study & Discussion
Also at 11:30, we study Buddhism together by reading and discussing or listening to a speaker. (On the first Sunday of each month, instead of study we chant the Chenrezik sadhana, a prayer of compassion.)

We meet at the Factory Street Dance Studio, (on Ohio Street). Directions and map
Tibetan Buddhist meditation, study, and discussion. We read books together, or listen to recorded talks, frequently stopping to discuss. As often as we can, we have talks by visiting teachers (lamas, or senior students from Columbus KTC).
Newcomers are always welcome, and we offer meditation instruction at no charge. Beginning in 2007, we will offer introductory classes in the basics of Tibetan Buddhism.
Athens Karma Thegsum Chöling is an affiliate of Karma Triyana Dharmachakra,
the North American seat of His Holiness the Gyalwa Karmapa (www.Kagyu.org)
May all beings benefit!
