About Us

Getting Oriented

If you are completely new to Buddhism or would like to do some reading, Our Bookstore Manager has compiled a list of recommended introductory Buddhist books to help you get started. All of the titles on this list are available in our Bookstore.

Newcomers
If you're visiting the Center for the first time, or if you'd like to ask questions about the Center and Buddhism in an informal setting, join us for one of our Newcomers Orientation sessions. Beginning immediately after the Sunday morning teachings on the second Sunday of each month (approx. 12pm), an experienced Center member will give a brief introduction to the Center and answer any and all questions.

New Members
New Member Orientation sessions are intended to help Kadampa Center new members feel comfortable about engaging in many aspects of Center activity. New Member Orientation sessions are offered monthly starting after the Sunday morning teachings on the third Sunday of each month (approx. 12pm). These sessions will include information about who we are as a group, how we are organized, information about our e-mails lists, and information about the different aspects of the center, such as the Bookstore and Library.

Both sessions are very informal and will allow for substantial feedback from newcomers and new members.
