Kentucky Loses A Buddhist Pioneer

LOUISVILLE, Kentucky - In the late 1970s - long before Buddhism registered on the cultural radar of most Americans - Mary Catherine McCliment was taking every course she could in Tibetan studies at Indiana University from an exiled Tibetan monk.

Soon she took formal vows as a Buddhist and in the past decade took a leading role in establishing a Tibetan Buddhist center in Louisville, with monks in residence.

She sought to live out what her teacher at IU - Thubten J. Norbu, the late brother of the Dalai Lama - had inspired her to do: "Go and learn everything you possibly can about Tibet - its history, language, religion, culture - and go out and teach that."
