Meditation & Buddhism

Kadampa Buddhism brings the teachings of Buddha into the modern world and shows how anyone, Buddhist or not, can benefit from the practices Buddha taught. People from all walks of life attend the classes and although many are not Buddhists they testify to the power of meditation and mindfulness to improve the quality of their life both at home and at work.

The restorative time I spend at Kadampa Meditation Centre Wellington gives me a still point of calm in what often feels like a chaotic frenetic world. The Centre is a wonderful place to find the beauty and simplicity of Buddha’s teachings and a warm friendly welcome from an amazing community of practitioners.

This is the second retreat I’ve been to now and they were both enjoyable. I love the setting, it’s very relaxing and peaceful. I would recommend attending one of these retreats to anyone, especially if this is your first encounter with Buddhist meditation, as it’s a great way of experiencing meditation within a shared environment.

This retreat was absolutely magical and life changing for me! I had fallen off my meditation practice and was struggling to get back into it on my own. The group presence and support for this was just what I needed in this incredibly beautiful setting. Thank you. Thank you. I'll be back next year.
