“A peaceful Tibetan Buddhist monastery at the top of a mountain. Follow the winding road up the mountain and you'll know that you've arrived when you see the colorful prayer flags fluttering in the wind. This beautiful monastery welcomes everyone of all faiths and backgrounds - just remember to take off your shoes before you enter the shrine. If you're visiting Woodstock, this monastery is not to be missed. The bookstore (Namse Bangdzo) offers a wide selection of Buddhist books, fine Tibetan Buddhist art (statues and thangkas), and Dharma practice materials. Like other reviewers have said, this monastery is not designed as a tourist destination, but a functioning monastery and serves as the North American seat of the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa, head of the Karma Kagyu lineage. Karma Triyana Dharmachakra (KTD) offers private retreats for those who wish deepen their understanding and m find peace through Tibetan Buddhist teachings. You can make a donation at write a dedication on a card which is taped to a lamp (at the time of this writing, the donation for a 3-day lamp starts at $12). It's a neat experience walking through the golden Buddha shrine and reading other people's lamps.”
