What we’re about
Our meditation practices are based upon a living tradition of wisdom teachings that has been passed down from teacher to student, and which has liberated practitioners from anxiety, stress, pain, and suffering for thousands of years.
People coming here are your friends and neighbors who have found these teachings to be just as transformative today. Feel free to try any drop-in class and see for yourself. Each includes guided meditation, practical teaching, and time for questions. No pre-registration needed.
We are part of the New Kadampa Tradition (NKT-IKBU), an international network of over 1200 independent, non-profit centers and branches in over 40 countries, all devoted to sharing Kadampa Buddhism throughout the world.
Buddhist monk Gen Zamling is known for his clear, practical, and down-to-earth approach to meditation.. Whether you’re brand new or have some experience, this class will give you simple tools to calm the mind, reduce stress, and bring more balance into everyday life.
