Welcome to Palchen Study Group

Palchen Study Group of Evansville offers meditation and practice in the Tibetan Buddhist, mahayana/vajrayana tradition. Our roots are in the Dakpo Kagyu schools of Tibetan Buddhism, but reflecting our connection with Kunzang Palchen Ling (Red Hook, NY) and their non-sectarian mission, we hope to foster the teachings of all lineages.

Palchen Study Group of Evansville provides students a connection to authentic teachings and teachers. The Ven. Bardor Tulku Rinpoche of Kunzang Palchen Ling provides guidance for our group—with our local meditation and practice being coordinated by a 14 year student of Bardor Rinpoche.

We meet Saturday mornings from 09:30 to 11:00 for sitting meditation and Dharma instruction, followed by a question and answer period. And we meet Tuesday evenings for more advanced instruction and practice. There's no charge to attend, and all are welcome. No meditation or Buddhist experience is necessary—just the desire to learn more about Tibetan Buddhist meditation and practice.

*Sadhana practice is a Tibetan meditative practice that combines chanting, visualization, and mantra. It is designed to lead a student closer to his or her own enlightened nature.

NEWS

NEW CLASS ADDED TO OUR WEEKLY SCHEDULE!

We're happy to announce that we're adding Tuesday evenings to our regular weekly schedule.

Saturday mornings will continue to be oriented toward sitting meditation and introductory teachings—perfect for those new to Tibetan Buddhist practice. While Tuesday evenings will be oriented toward more advanced instruction and practice—sadhana practice, etc.

Our Tuesday evening meetings will NOT be held at our regular location on Weinbach Avenue. Instead, the location WILL CHANGE EACH WEEK, and will be hosted by various sangha members.

Please contact us by email or by phone for details on where we'll be meeting this Tuesday.

MAY TEACHINGS

During May, on Saturday mornings, we'll continue teaching from selected Dharma readings, followed by a question and answer period with students.

Tuesday evenings, using audio/visual material from Kunzang Palchen Ling, we'll continue teaching the Chenrezik Sadhana* and the Guru Rinpoche Sadhana* as we make them part of our weekly practice sessions.

Please contact us by email if you'd like more information.
