Open to the public in 2006, Kadampa Meditation Center New York (KMC – NY) is an international spiritual community dedicated to achieving world peace through following the Kadampa Buddhist Path.
Everyone is welcome into this serene and blessed environment, site of the US Kadampa World Peace Temple. Visitors from all backgrounds come to find rest and refuge from the difficulties of busy modern life, and draw inspiration from spiritual friends, including western Buddhist monks and nuns.
Ongoing Buddhist meditation classes, study programs and meditation retreats at the Kadampa Meditation Center offer us the opportunity to discover our innate capacities for wisdom and compassion. The Buddhist practices taught here are suitable for every person. Letting this special advice touch our hearts, we learn to become happy and to lead meaningful lives that have the power to greatly benefit others.
The Kadampa Meditation Center and World Peace Temple have arisen from the pure intention and vision of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, Spiritual Director of the New Kadampa Tradition – International Buddhist Union (NKT – IKBU), and are dedicated so that everyone may be happy and free from suffering.
The Kadampa Temple is treasured by Kadampa practitioners as a holy object that inspires us to attain outer and inner peace.
The Kadampa Meditation Center and Temple are located on 82 acres in Glen Spey, New York, in the beautiful Delaware River Valley, approximately a two hour drive from New York City, just minutes from the New Jersey and Pennsylvania borders.
Tharpa Publications, a major Buddhist publisher distributing Buddhist books and artwork throughout the US, is located onsite.
A Buddhist book and audio store, gift shop and World Peace Café are situated in the verandas of the Temple.
