Once a month we gather for shared food -- always a delicious mix of savory dishes! -- and socializing at our potluck lunches. For more than a year, Trilby Berger has coordinated our potlucks, organizing sponsors, helping with setup and cleanup, and getting the word out for all to come.
Welcome to Kadampa Center!
Welcome!
Thank you for visiting Kadampa Center's web site!
We are in the process of implementing some major enhancements - keep coming back to see our progress.
Whether you are someone just starting out on your spiritual journey or a seasoned Buddhist practitioner, you have found a great place to start. Kadampa Center offers programs for everyone - explore the options under Spiritual Program. If you are brand new to Buddhism and the Center, start by visiting us on a Sunday or participating in one of our introductory programs - Buddhism in a Nutshell or Meditation 101. Another good option for those just getting started is Discovering Buddhism - a 13-module series of 5-6 session classes that cover the basics of Buddhism - from karma, to meditation, to emptiness, to death and rebirth.
Please join us if you can! If you have questions, send us an email, or give us a call at 919-859-3433.
Our Members Speak - Why I Give
Tony Allen
As lay people, we probably have not had much of an opportunity in this life to spend much time at a Buddhist monastery or nunnery and if we have, that time was probably all too brief.
We do not have a large monastic institution in our midst like Gaden Monastery or Sera Monastery where our precious Geshe Gelek and Geshe Sangpo spent so many years in training and study. But we do have the next best thing. We have a Dharma Center.
I have been attending the Kadampa Center since late 2008 and not long after that started to do a little volunteering. I didn't have much money to give the Center nor did I even have much time or, to be honest, much inclination to do much even if I did have the time!
