Tibetan Buddhist Meditation Center - Chicago KTC

Traditional Tibetan Buddhist meditation & sadhana practice in Chicago. Open to first-timers and experienced practitioners. Join us Sundays at 9:30am at Chicago Karma Thegsum Chöling (KTC), 2100 S. Central Ave, Cicero, IL 60804.

If it’s your first visit, arrive by 9:15 AM for a short introduction. Each Sunday includes guided meditation, traditional practice, and a short Dharma talk.

At the heart of our tradition are sadhanas, which are special meditation practices that combine chanting, visualization, and prayer. Guided by a chant leader, these practices support participants in recognizing their innate awareness, compassion, and wisdom. All texts include English translations and pronunciation guides, and you are welcome to engage however you feel comfortable (chanting along, following in English, or simply sitting quietly). Our weekly program also includes meditation and short Dharma talks.

Chicago KTC is part of the Karma Kagyu lineage, under the guidance of His Holiness the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa and affiliated with Karma Triyana Dharmachakra in New York.

Our shrine room offers both cushions and chairs, and we have tea and coffee breaks. Whether this is your first experience with meditation or part of a long-standing practice, you’ll find community here.
