The Santa Cruz KTC was established by the Sixteenth Gyalwang Karmapa in 1976 for the listening, contemplation, and practice of Tibetan Buddhism. Besides regular meetings, our center is visited by many lamas, including Ponlop Rinpoche , Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche , and Lama Namse Rinpoche . The KTC shrine room in the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains near Soquel is on privately owned land and is used and maintained by members. The beautiful interior and peaceful surroundings make our shrine room an ideal place for teachings and practice.
Senior students teach an introductory course for inquirers as needed.
