Buddha's most profound insight into the nature of the mind remains as revolutionary in our modern world as it was 2500 years ago: the mind is the source of all happiness and suffering. All of it. At KMC NYC, this is what we learn - in a very practical way. So that through meditation, we can cultivate authentic happiness, and actualize our greatest potential, and help others do the same.

About Us
Report
Kadampa Meditation Center New York City exists to provide everybody in the New York area with the opportunity to learn about and practice Buddha's teachings. To fulfill this aim we have created a peaceful city sanctuary located in the heart of Chelsea. Based on the books of the modern day Buddhist teacher, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, we present Buddha's teachings in an accessible manner that can easily be integrated into busy modern life.
Weekly Classes
Report
Each week, we offer more than 20 classes, of which most are drop-in and perfect for all levels of practitioner. A simple 30-minute meditation is a great class to begin with if you're looking to ease in to meditation. These are offered every weekday first thing in the morning, and at lunchtime, and after-work on Monday through Thursday evenings.
Meditation & Teaching Classes
Report
The General Program (GP) classes are drop-in classes, suitable for beginners as well as those with an established meditation practice. Each class includes a teaching and meditation based on Buddha's Sutra and/or Tantra teachings. Through these classes we can learn how to use Buddha's advice in our own lives to solve all our daily problems and find the peace and happiness we seek.
Mondays, 7:00 - 8:30pm
Report
Happiness and suffering are merely states of mind. So if we are to experience the happiness we all long for we must learn to how to connect with that state of mind and not the ones that causes us so much pain. Part of this process entails identifying our negative patterns of thought so that we can begin to learn to let them go.
Tuesday evening general program
Report
We could all use a reality check now and then. In this class, we examine the specific issues that we're dealing with in our daily lives and then begin working on how to fix them. Through teachings, meditations and discussions, each class helps us to sharpen the tools we need for becoming more mindful of what exactly is going on both around us and within us.
