Indiana Buddhist Center - History

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:

    The true theater of history is therefore the temperate zone.
    Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)

    To a surprising extent the war-lords in shining armour, the apostles of the martial virtues, tend not to die fighting when the time comes. History is full of ignominious getaways by the great and famous.
    George Orwell (1903–1950)

    The history is always the same the product is always different and the history interests more than the product. More, that is, more. Yes. But if the product was not different the history which is the same would not be more interesting.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
