Kadampa Meditation Center North Carolina

 
Kadampa Meditation Center North Carolina provides the opportunity to learn about and practice Buddha’s teachings. To fulfill this aim, they have created a peaceful sanctuary in Dilworth. Based on the books of the modern day Buddhist teacher, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, they strive to present Buddha’s teachings in an accessible manner that can easily be integrated into modern life.

According to their web site, their presentation “retains all the meanings and insights of Buddha’s original teachings, while offering them in a fashion that is accessible and suitable for modern-day practitioners.”

The New Kadampa Tradition was founded by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso after he moved to the West in 1977, in response to the request of students in England seeking pure Buddhist teachings. 
Kadampa Meditation Center North Carolins is one of 1,400 locations worldwide and is operated primarily by volunteers.
