Karma Triyana Dharmachakra
A Tibetan Kagyu Buddhist monastery on the hill above Woodstock, with a gold-topped shrine hall and prayer flags. Visitors can tour the shrine hall and learn about meditation.
Karma Triyana Dharmachakra is the North American seat of the 16th Karmapa. It sits halfway up Meads Mountain. The main shrine hall is decorated with traditional Tibetan painting and houses a large statue of Shakyamuni Buddha.
Visitors can enter the shrine hall during open hours; please remove your shoes and keep quiet. On Sundays, there are often public introductions to meditation. The monastery is about a 5-minute drive from downtown Woodstock. Admission is free, and everyone is welcome to join in.
