Odiyana Kadampa Buddhist Center

Odiyana Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization supported entirely by student donations and volunteer efforts. Everyone is welcome.

Living a stress-free and meaningful life has never been closer to your fingertips. Through meditation, which is a method to acquaint our mind with causes of happiness, we can gain a better understanding of how to achieve the lasting peace we all long for. Odiyana Kadampa Buddhist Center holds classes throughout Connecticut, Vermont, and Western Massachusetts, and was founded based on the knowledge

that it is possible for everyone to cultivate positive states of mind that will lead to inner peace. We strive to provide a healthy environment for the community to deepen their understanding and experience of meditation practice and Buddhist studies. Meditation is the heart of Buddhist practice. Through meditation, we can gain deep insight into how to be happy and deal with life’s challenges successfully. Through consistent meditation practice, we can complete all the stages of the path to enlightenment and attain indestructible inner peace. The center offers many ways to integrate our spiritual understanding into our daily life.
