In our classes, retreats, and study programs, our teachers provide the tools and confidence to establish a meditation practice that will grow and improve. The main purpose of meditation is to train the mind to improve our inner qualities, such as patience, love, compassion and wisdom – while reducing thinking patterns that cause unhappiness, stress and anxiety.

Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso devoted his entire life to the learning and then flourishing of Buddhist teachings throughout the world. After coming to the West in 1977, he worked very hard to establish a modern presentation of the Kadampa lineage of teachings. His presentation retains all the meanings and insights of Buddha’s original teachings, in a format that is accessible and suitable for modern-day practitioners. Now, through his great kindness everyone – regardless of nationality, culture, age or gender – has the opportunity to practice scientifically proven methods for solving the problems of daily life that ultimately lead to true and lasting happiness.
