Chicago Karma Thegsum Choling (KTC) is a Tibetan Buddhist sanctuary in Cicero, Illinois, serving as the official Chicago home of His Holiness the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa. Affiliated with and guided by Karma Triyana Dharmachakra (KTD), it brings Buddhist tradition into everyday life and is housed in a reimagined 1920s speakeasy designed as a traditional Tibetan Buddhist space.
