Albany KTC Tibetan Buddhist Study and Meditation Center provides authentic teachings and practices of the Karma Kagyu school Tibetan Buddhism. Located in Albany, NY, we are easily accessible to those living in New York's Capital District region (Albany, Schenectady, and Troy). We are an affiliate center of Karma Triyana Dharmachakra (KTD), the North American seat of His Holiness the Seventeenth Gyalwang Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje.

Albany KTC offers free meditation instruction, the study of Karma Kagyu Buddhist teachings in a group setting, the opportunity to learn more advanced meditation practices, and Tibetan language instruction. In addition, Buddhist teachers from around the world visit each year.

Albany KTC is also fortunate enough to have our own resident Lama (teacher), Lama Zopa. Lama Zopa, a graduate of two Karma Kagyu Buddhist three year retreats, provides teachings weekly.

Please be sure to look at our current schedule as well as our programs geared to folks new to Buddhism and meditation practice. We also have a growing library of online audio recordings available of teachings given at our center that cover a variety of topics found in Buddhism. Contact us for further information.

May all sentient beings gain happiness and the cause of happiness
May all be free from suffering and the cause of suffering
May they never be cut off from the highest bliss which is devoid of suffering
May they come to rest in the great impartiality, which is free of attachment and aversion
