Kadampa Meditation Center New York

Kadampa Meditation Center New York International Kadampa Buddhist community & site of the US National Kadampa World Peace Temple
(445)

KMC New York is located on 82 wooded acres in the colorful Upper Delaware River Valley in rural New York, one of the most natural and pure areas in the Northeast. It is just two hours by car, bus, or train from New York City, and minutes from the New Jersey and Pennsylvania borders. The Temple is open to the public every day, including the dessert café and gift shop. Visitors from all backgrounds come to find rest and refuge from the stresses of busy modern life, and draw inspiration from spiritual friends that include Buddhist monks and nuns. Ongoing meditation classes, study programs and retreats offer us an opportunity to discover and increase our innate good qualities. Following Buddha’s timeless advice, we can learn to still our agitated minds and travel a joyful path to peace and happiness. The methods and practices taught here are suitable for every level of interest and experience.

Looking for a way to benefit others while still getting retreat time of your own? Volunteer visits are a great way to make that happen! We’re looking for Kadampas who’d like to help facilitate our winter retreats and enjoy them in the process. Help is needed from December 20–March 19.

You can sign up for as little as one week or for the entire period. Email [email protected] for more information.

Smiles, open hearts, and lots of love weaved through the celebration weekend.

The positive energy from deepening our relationship with Buddha Shakyamuni and The Liberating Prayer grew with every teaching, interaction with Sangha, and peaceful moment in the Temple. What a beautiful way to end meditating on this prayer in retreat.

Thank you to everyone who made this event possible, and may your communities deeply benefit from your experience here.

Our mind of faith isn’t about believing things that we don’t understand; it’s about creating space for our heart to open. ❤️ In this clip from the Northeast Dharma Celebration, Gen Khedrub shares some wisdom imparted by Gen-la Dekyong.

While giving commentary on Prayers for Meditation, Kadam Morten read this excerpt from Modern Buddhism and explained that we don’t need to rigidly separate the preliminary practices. We are actually receiving Buddha’s blessing all the time!
