Kadampa Meditation Center New York and World Peace Temple
Our Community
Kadampa Meditation Center brings peace of mind to New York. Retreat from the hectic pace of life – you are welcome here for a day, a weekend, or longer.
Our Center is an international spiritual community dedicated to fostering peace in our hearts and in this world. We are open year-round for tours and visits. Our rich program of Modern Buddhism includes workshops, classes, special events, prayer services, and group and individual retreats. Using the methods and practices taught here we learn to get in touch with our inner stillness and our innate good qualities of love, compassion and wisdom, leading us to a happier, healthier, and more meaningful life!
KMC NY is the site of the resplendent US Kadampa World Peace Temple. It is located amid 82 acres of lush woodland in the colorful Upper Delaware River Valley. Secluded walking trails, meditation spots, a creek-fed pond, and abundant wildlife surround the Temple, inviting us to connect with pure, natural surroundings.
Visitors also enjoy our World Peace Dessert Café, Bookstore and Giftshop, located in the Temple verandas. There is something here for everyone.
Voted 2010 and 2011 “Most Attractive Building” and “Best Place of Worship” in the Upper Delaware River Valley by readers of the River Reporter.
