    The Indiana Buddhist Center is home to a very traditional lineage of Tibetan Buddhism thanks, I'm…read moresure, to the Dalai Lama's ties to Indiana. The Center is located just off Post on 10th Street in a fairly average-sized suburban home converted for the purpose. The house is very small and that makes for an almost claustrophobic feel as you acclimate to being there. Service there felt more like meeting in someone's living room than a specific congregational space. I've attended only a couple of services here. Everyone was very warm and inviting and the conversations tend to be pretty heady and interesting. The practice seems solid and should be fairly familiar to anyone experienced with meditation. This group seems less interested in catering to newcomers to Buddhism, in my experience, but that might just be my perception. I should clarify that I'm not a newcomer in the least, so maybe they were just better at not treating me like I was. If you're interested in exploring Buddhism and want a very authentic Tibetan experience, this might be the Center for you.

    I attended a teaching this past Sunday. The group was warm and welcoming. The place was small and…read morecozy and offered me tea. The alter was beautifully adorned. Yes, it it was in portion of a house, instead of a grand temple, but I felt that almost added to the intimacy and focus of mindfulness. The monk who lead the teaching was incredibly alert and thoughtful in intention and the translator did an excellent job translating to English. As he was teaching, he was looking at and taking consideration of every individual in the room. The teaching was deep and incredibly insightful. I agree that this session would be tricky for a newbie and I probably would have been lost had I not read several books about Buddhism in the past. But, from what I understand they have implemented a "Intro" series on another day that would help someone get up to speed.

    The sangha (congregation) at the Dromtonpa Kadampa Buddhist Center are very inviting and friendly…read more It's a tight-knit group, which can be intimidating, but all very friendly and willing to help newcomers learn the customs of the denomination as well as answer general questions. While not as impressive as the An Lac temple, the large central Buddha statue in the meeting room is very impressive and serene. The Center is a very peaceful place to meditate or pray. Many activities at the Center cost, which is one potential con vs other Buddhist options in the city. However, there are free prayer services offered if paying isn't really your thing. I'm not a Tibetan Buddhist--most of my Buddhism comes from Japan--but I found the basic principals of Mahayana Buddhism being well taught at the Center. One thing I personally REALLY love about this Center is that they treat Buddhism as a religion and not as an alternative to Pilates. I think every other Buddhist group in the city that I've interacted with is indifferent to the religious nature of Buddhism at best and often apologetic for it. Denominations of traditional Buddhism have as much pomp and circumstances as most denominations of traditional Christianity. Pretending that Buddhism is no different than Dale Carnegie has its place, but this is not that place. If you would like to openly and legitimately pray and meditate, the Dromtonpa Kadampa Buddhist Center is for you.

    Amazing classes in a beautiful setting. The best place to learn about Buddhism and to meditate.read more

    My husband and I stopped here on a recent visit to Bloomington and wow, what a beautifully serene…read moreplace! You can only hear the leaves of the trees moving in the wind here. It's so very peaceful. We visited the gift shop where we were tended to by a zealously attentive gentleman, before we set off to wander a bit. There's much to see here - monuments and Buddhas and the prayer wheels and a whole lot of nature. I'll admit that even though we were told we could visit the monks on the temple, we felt too shy to visit, not wanting to disturb the monks, and because we hadn't studied up on protocols before pur visit. But even without meeting them, wandering the grounds is such a treat. Tip: make sure to bring some change or other offerings. Throughout the property you'll find Buddha statues where you may make an offering. I had limited change, so once I ran out, at the last Buddha I left a small citrine I happened to have in my pocket. I love this place and already feel it calling me back. It's so quiet and beautiful and peaceful. Highly recommend, very pleasant!

    What a memorable and peaceful experience…read more We strolled onto the Cultural Center grounds (which are 40+ acres) not fully knowing what to expect. Our curious ways led us down a winding lane surrounded by Buddhas, prayer flags and statues. I can only imagine how much more mysterious and beautiful this place once the ground and trees are green with life. From the intricate sand art to the complete solitude, we loved every minute of our visit. The whole experience was made extra-special when we stumbled upon a Buddhist service with 8-10 monks who were visiting from India (seriously, you guys, this is a very important place in the Buddhist world tucked away in southern Indiana). We quietly seated ourselves at the back of the room and were graciously greeted by the leader at the end of the service. He explained the process, shared tangerine and plums and welcomed us with open arms. I really appreciated that their sanctuary had religious books from several other groups like Muslims, Christians and Jews as a sign of their openness and love for all.
