Meditation Classes & Retreats

About Meditation - If we train our mind to become peaceful we will be happy all the time, even in the most adverse conditions. But if our mind is not peaceful, even if we have the most pleasant external conditions we will not be happy. Therefore it is important to train our mind through meditation.

Classes For Beginners - Information on introductory classes at Kadampa Buddhist Centers and branches in Florida.

Classes For Kids - Information on meditation classes for kids.

Current Classes - Information on the titles and class content of all our introductory classes in Florida.

In-depth Buddhist Study Programs - Geshe Kelsang Gyatso has designed three special spiritual programs for the systematic study and practice of Kadampa Buddhism that are especially suited to the modern world: the General Program, the Foundation Program, and the Teacher Training Program.

Chanted Meditations - If you enjoy meditating with others, chanted meditations are a great opportunity for you to engage in group meditation.

Meditation Retreats - It is traditional in Kadampa Buddhist Centers to do regular meditation retreats. This allows us to digest the teachings we have heard and to gain some precious familiarity with them. The more sessions we can attend, the more peaceful and concentrated our mind will become, and the more relaxed and happy we will feel.
