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.
