History
KTC DALLAS was begun in the 1980s by a group of local individuals with an interest in meditation and Tibetan Buddhist teachings. Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche authorized the formation of KTC Dallas as an affiliate center of Karma Triyana Dharmachakra in 1990. In 1990 the center also purchased its own building in a residential neighborhood in north Oak Cliff, and then in 2013 purchased a new center in Irving, Texas, close to DFW airport. KTC Dallas has enjoyed a stable and growing membership base, currently around 108 members.

We regularly hold teaching and practice retreats at our Meditation Center in Irving and there are other teachings throughout the metroplex and in Denton.
