KTD - Karma Triyana Dharmachakra

Beautiful temple, very reverent and very historical. We could not go inside as there was a retreat happening, but I imagine it is gorgeous. Nice bookstore. Downstairs is a room of statues. Very foggy on top of the mountain.

Beautiful temple up above Woodstock, easy to drive to, easy to find, plenty of parking, very peaceful, real working monestary with monks in residence, definitely worth the visit.

The KTD Buddhist Center is truly a special place. As the North American seat of the Karmapa and the Karma Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism, it carries a deep sense of history and spiritual significance. From the moment we arrived, we were met with warmth and kindness. Khenpo Sangye Trinley gave us a wonderful welcome, personally showing us around and sharing insights about the monastery and its profound teachings. The atmosphere was peaceful and inspiring, perfect for reflection and connection. Lunch was also a highlight, delicious and vegetarian, served in the serene setting of the center. Whether you’re visiting for a retreat, a teaching, or just to experience the space, KTD is a place of genuine hospitality and wisdom. Highly recommend!

My most spontaneous, fulfilling gift to stumble upon during a time I was desperate to make my own fun out of nothing. The experience I didnt know i was signing up for changed my life in ways, dramatically and forever. Great place to heal

Beautiful Place And Felt zen moments being there. Everyone Was Friendly and made us comfortable. The Bookshop Is a must! The Person Working there made us feel comfortable and allowed us to take our time and choose books and little knick kacks. The scenary is beautiful so take pictures.

Place of peace and life. The monks are incredibly humble and friendly, the monastery is clean and open to visitors as long as they remain silent and behave.

KTD is an authentic Tibetan Buddhist monastery in the Karma Kagyu School and is the North American seat of the 17th Karmapa. There is usually a tour on Saturdays around lunch. This is a truly magnificent place.

Beautiful place to stop by after hiking across the street. Got a lovely explanation of the significance of this place from John in the bookshop . We will be back to learn more and meditate ! Gorgeous and so peaceful
