Sunday Teachings with Geshe Jinpa Sonam - A typical Sunday teaching finds IBC members studying Liberation in the Palm of Your Hand by Pabongka Rinpoche. We've been studying this teaching with Geshe Jinpa since April 2007 and still have a way to go.

Fundraiser Party - Thank You! We Did It! - On July 28, 2007 after weeks of collecting donations to purchase a permanent residence for our precious teacher Geshe Jinpa Sonam, IBC held a Fund Raiser Party - one last campaign to raise the funds necessary to make a downpayment on the property. Included in this album is the BLOG written by our president, Clifton Carmody, on that fateful night. The pictures are great but can never the capture the excitement of so many giving and loving people all in the same place at the same time supporting one cause.
IBC in Madison, WI - May 2007 - From May 1 - May 5, 2007 many IBC members traveled to Madison, WI to attend the teachings of His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama of Tibet. Most of us camped out together in the state park, prepared meals together, and shared the experience of being in a camp site that we also shared with our very precious teacher, Geshe Jinpa Sonam. It was a most marvelous experience that was captured at least a little in these photos. Many thanks to Julie Carmody for sharing these memories.
Pema Full Moon Festival - IBC Members participate in the unveiling of the largest Buddha Thangka in the United States and meet with Arjia Rinpoche, director of TCC. October 8, 2006.
Maitreya Heart Relic Tour - IBC was incredibly fortunate to co-host the Maitreya Project Heart Shrine Relic Tour this past August (2006) in the Indianapolis area. Our co-host was the An Loc Temple in Indianapolis which actually housed the Relics during the tour here. These photos are fantastic and will probably generate merit simply by viewing them here.

HIS HOLINESS DORJI LOPEN RINPOCHE - album 1
July 2004
This was his Holiness' first visit to the west. He is a Vajra master and he is the 2nd highest Rinpoche in Bhutan. He is the religious leader responsible for religious training of the monks and monasteries that includes education and mastery of Buddhist scriptures and meditation practices. His Holiness, a master in the Drukpa Kagyu Tradition, is the reincarnation of the 17th Century Mahasiddha Jinpa Gyaltsen and has attained Supreme Realization. During his first trip to the USA, we will be fortunate to receive the benefits of his vast knowledge, wisdom and blessings. We were very touched and fortunate to have received teachings from Rinpoche here in Indianapolis and Greenwood.

Medicine Buddha at Unitarian Universalist Church of Indianapolis
JULY 2004
His Holiness Dorji Lopen Rinpoche decided to give the Medicine Buddha empowerment during the closing of the sand mandala.
The Medicine Buddha is also known as the "Healing Buddha". This ceremony is especially beneficial for those with personal illness or those who are involved in the healing fields. This is an extremely auspicious and very beneficial initiation especially reinforced and empowered by the mandala.
