Lama Karma Drodhul writes:

Yesterday morning was an opportunity for us to represent Buddha Karmapa's North American seat which is KTD Monastery with Lama Zopa, Ani Wangmo, Susan and PC Chen! 

We offered body, speech and mind offering and I personally sponsored the lunch and money offering for the monastics! 

Also for all beings and the joy of offering will remain in our heart forever! 
Karmapa Chenno!

KTD monastery is the North American seatof His Holiness Ogyen Trinley Dorje, the 17th Karmapa, head of the Karma Kagyu Tibetan Buddhist lineage. Located on a mountain above Woodstock, NY, the monastery is across the hiking trail going up Overlook Mountain. KTD offers teachings by Tibetan Buddhist lamas, meditation practices, chanting pujas, and a community lifestyle based on Buddhist principles. People from around the world come to weekend programs and week-long retreats to study genuine Buddhist dharma.
   Residential volunteers sleep in Dorm Rooms and receive free vegetarian meals.
If their work schedule allows, they can attend teachings by visiting Tibetan Buddhist lamas on the weekends. Residential volunteers participate in KTD's community by doing a daily meditation or puja practice and by sharing other activities that support the spiritual and day-to-day life at the monastery. KTD offers a weekly Introduction to Buddhism course and a weekly Buddhist book discussion group. KTD's resident lamas and monastics are always willing to answer questions about Buddhism.
