c
The annual Ten-Day Teaching at Karma Triyana Dharmachakra is a time when students of His Holiness Karmapa gather to hear teachings and experience the fellowship of Karmapa's home center and sangha. This year's event, which will include teachings by Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche and a three-day White Tara Retreat to celebrate Khenpo Rinpoche's 90th Birthday, will be extra special for all concerned.
And it will provide all of His Holiness' students with an opportunity to support their favorite "home office" and dharma center, KTD Meditation and Retreat Center.
KTD, like all non-profits, relies on the generosity of its members, friends, and donors. When you donate to KTD, you keep the lights on in the Main Shrine Room, keep our retreat center clean and safe, share our dharma teachings with people around the world, and much more.
And if you participate in our
Annual Ten-Day Teaching
Auction and Drawing,
your donations will go farther
than at any other time of year
- and be the source of
beautiful gifts.
This year's Auction and Drawing is aimed at "Retiring" KTD's Construction Loan, taken out last year to finance construction on our Residence Wing. And the Auction and Drawing is being followed by a Matching Grant donor, who will double any money donated through the project.
Last year was the first year for the combined Auction and Raffle; last year we raised $11,000. This year we'd like to at least double that - to $21,000 in honor of the 21 Taras. And of course, with matching funds this will be $42,000, all going toward the Retirement of KTD's Construction Loan. Want to bid or buy tickets?
