History
The Indiana Buddhist Center was established in early 2003. Geshe Lharampa Jinpa Sonam (formerly of the Tibetan Cultural Center in Bloomington, IN) is Spiritual Director and resident teacher. In 2007, through the generosity of members and supporters, the current, modest residence was purchased. Previous to 2007, IBC had utilized donated space for teachings. The current residence is used as a meeting place for weekly teachings, meditations, offerings, prayer, retreats, gatherings, and other Buddhist observances. In May 2010, the Indiana Buddhist Center co-sponsored an appearance of the 14th Dalai Lama at Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis along with the Tibetan-Mongolian Buddhist Cultural Center of Bloomington, IN.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Certainly there is not the fight recorded in Concord history, at least, if in the history of America, that will bear a moment’s comparison with this, whether for the numbers engaged in it, or for the patriotism and heroism displayed.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I saw the Arab map.
It resembled a mare shuffling on,
dragging its history like saddlebags,
nearing its tomb and the pitch of hell.”
—Adonis [Ali Ahmed Said] (b. 1930)
“You that would judge me do not judge alone
This book or that, come to this hallowed place
Where my friends’ portraits hang and look thereon;
Ireland’s history in their lineaments trace;
Think where man’s glory most begins and ends
And say my glory was I had such friends.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
