Kadampa Center is committed to putting compassion in action through involvement and outreach in our community, locally and abroad. Our current programs are all run by dedicated volunteers from the center. If you would like to partner with Kadampa Center or organize a new outreach program, please contact the Outreach Coordinator.

• Prison Project
  In cooperation with the FPMT's Liberation Prison Project, we offer Pen Pals for prisoners and lead Meditation and Discussion Groups in local prisons.
• Compassionate Care Programs
  Facilitated by our Chaplain, these community care programs are open to both Kadampa Center members and the public.
• Sangha Sponsorship
  Take advantage of the opportunity to make a difference in the life of a monk at Sera Jey Monastery in India or a nun at Dolma Ling Nunnery in Mongolia.
• Community Speakers
  We regularly get requests for guest speakers in the community to talk about Tibetan Buddhism and Kadampa Center.
• Change Your Mind Day
  This annual event sponsored by Tricycle magazine had its inaugural celebration in the Triangle in 2004. Several of our local Buddhist traditions were represented.
• Internet Community
  Kadampa Center hosts a group internet community where members and guest are invited to participate in an informal bulletin board and discussion egroup.
• Discussion Groups
  These groups provide an opportunity to practice mindfulness, put dharma teachings to practice, connect with others and help build community at Kadampa Center. We currently sponsor a general discussion group named Bridges to Buddhism.
