Dedicated to the people of Tibet, The Tibetan Mongolian Buddhist Cultural Center in Bloomington, Indiana, offers a peaceful setting for meditation and reflection. The two Tibetan Chortens here are the only ones in the nation. The Center was established by Indiana University Professor Emeritus Thubten J. Norbu in 1979 to acquaint people with the history and culture of Tibet and to support Tibetans everywhere. The Center offers workshops, teachings, seminars, initiations, retreats and ceremonies relating to the Tibetan and Mongolian cultures. Highlights of the Cultural Center include the Kumbum Chamtse Ling Interfaith Temple, Mani Korl (Tibetan prayer wheels), a Teaching Pavilion, a permanent sand mandala and many other works of art.
