The KMC Oslo is the principal centre of the Nordic region for the New Kadampa Tradition. Located in the heart of Oslo (Majorstuveien 26), it offers meditation courses, retreats and social events mostly in English.
We offer a place of joy and peace to the people of Oslo.
About the center
In the heart of the city we have built a place where you can come in, let go of your worries and stress. The centre was built with the help of volunteers from all over the world and a number of great craftsmen to give the Oslo people a place of refuge where they can find deep inner peace in the middle of everyday life.
The city centre consists of a beautiful social space where you can have a cup of tea or coffee, chat with like-minded people. The meditation room is the core of the center, creating a wonderful atmosphere where one can completely let go of the outside world for a little while and feel deep in peace and serenity.
About the teacher
Gen Kelsang Dragpa is a Dutch Buddhist monk, Resident Teacher of Kadampa Meditation Centre Oslo and National Spiritual Director for the Nordic region (Norway/Sweden/Denmark/Finland/Iceland).
He is a close disciple of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche- founder of the New Kadampa Tradition.
Gen Dragpa ordained as a Buddhist monk in 1993 and has for over 25 years successfully taught and guided meditations extensively as a Resident Teacher in the Netherlands, France, the United Kingdom, and Norway.
Through his study, practice and meditation of modern Kadampa Buddhism over the last thirty years, Gen Dragpa has gained a deep understanding of Buddha's teachings and a down to to earth and practical way of explaining how to integrate Buddha's teachings in our busy modern lives.
Gen Dragpa teaches topics relevant to our modern society in a lighthearted manner, and skilfully guides meditations for us to experience a deep feeling of inner peace and contentment.
Parents with children
Everyone is welcome and there is no need to find a babysitter, because we have live video link to the reception area where you can relax in meditation while the children can play quietly.
Persons with disabilities
The center is on the first floor and easily accessible for people in a wheelchair. There are two handicap parking spaces just outside and we also have a large newly refurbished handicap toilet.

https://www.meditasjonioslo.no/meditation-away-retreats/nordmarka-2025In our modern fast paced world , faced with the pressures of daily life, it can feel as if we are constantly being pulled in many directions and that we are rarely still.
During this retreat Gen Dragpa will guide practical, relaxing and inspiring meditations and will also explain how we can carry our experience of inner peace into our everyday life so that we can maintain our inner relaxation and stillness no matter how busy our external circumstances may be.
Both those with experience as well as those with little or no experience with meditation are very welcome!
A partly silent retreat
To help us concentrate on our inner practice we will maintain silence in the mornings until lunch.During this retreat there also will be plenty of time to relax, or go for walks in the beautiful nature in the Valdres area.
There will be 5 meditation sessions a day, 4 sessions include an introductory meditation, an short talk and then another guided meditation.
You will return from this retreat relaxed and refreshed and with the tools to keep a calm(er) mind in your daily life. Why not give yourself (and your friends) the present of a peaceful and joyful mind ?

- 05.05. Inner peace through understanding the true nature of the self
To book for this inspiring course please click here:
https://www.meditasjonioslo.no/gp-mondayGen Dragpa will explain and guide meditations from the books Mirror of Dharma and A New Meditation Handbook that will help us to improve our capacity to transform and deal with life's problems and experience a deeper feeling of relaxation and inner peace.
These meditations are both for those new to meditation and those who already have some experience.
Without inner peace there is no real happiness at all. Problems, suffering and unhappiness do not exist outside the mind; they are feelings and thus part of our mind. Therefore, it is only by controlling our mind that we can permanently stop our problems and make ourself and others truly happy.
This extremely practical guide is an indispensable handbook for those seeking happiness and meaning in their lives.

Disse metodene har blitt brukt i tusenvis av år og har bevist sin effektivitet i å roe sinnet og øke følelsen av velvære. Når vi føler oss mer avslappet vil vi kunne nyte livet mer, håndtere livets utfordringer på en positiv måte og skape mer harmoniske relasjoner med andre.
Disse meditasjonene er essensielle for alle som ønsker å oppnå en indre varig glede.
Gen Dragpa vil vise oss hvordan vi gjør pustemeditasjoner, meditasjon med visualisering, meditasjon med et mantra og andre meditasjoner slik at vi kan bruke disse hjemme og fortsette å oppleve fordelene deres.

AVHENGIGHET OG NYTELSE

https://www.meditasjonioslo.no/events-meditasjon-oslo/avhengighet-nytelse-2025Vi søker kanskje å nyte livet vårt på utallige varierte måter, men ofte opplever vi begrenset tilfredshet og glede i forbindelse med vår søken etter nytelse og glede.
Buddha lærte bort hvordan man kan øve seg i tilfredshet og finne en indre fred og tilfredshet som gjør oss i stand til å nyte livet fullt ut.
Buddhistisk mester Atisha sa at å jage nytelser er som å drikke saltvann for å slukke tørsten. Uansett hvor mye vi skulle drikke vil det aldri kunne tilfredsstille vårt ukontrollerte begjær, derfor kan vi heller øve oss i tilfredshet.
