Kadampa Center CLOSED

With a mind of bodhicitta and from a place of care for all our members and their families, Kadampa Center will be closed through April 16. All events, classes, meditations and pujas are cancelled.  The Center will not be open for personal practice.

We are working to offer as many teachings and practices online as possible. Please keep an eye on the calendar and on emails for updates. 

Lama Zopa Rinpoche has offered advice for practices to protect from COVID-19. Here are links to specific practices and Rinpoche's advice.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama has advised reciting Green Tara’s mantra to benefit those with the virus:  OM TARE TUTTARE TURE SOHA

Leadership at Kadampa Center is very actively monitoring the situation around COVID-19 nationally and locally including evolving guidance from government and health authorities, in keeping with a commitment to ensure the health and safety of all.

The situation remains fluid and there is so much work going on behind the scenes. Please bear with us as we work through schedule changes in a situation which remains unprecedented and unpredictable. 

We are actively exploring ways to continue to connect with our community virtually. More to come on this.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. Please take good care of yourselves

May all who are sick and ill quickly be freed from their ailments

Whatever diseases there are in the world, may they never occur again.
