IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche
On September 17 our most precious Spiritual Guide Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche showed the manner of passing peacefully into the clear light.
Venerable Geshe-la requested that for auspiciousness at this time all Kadampa centers around the world engage in a short retreat using his special prayer, Request to the Holy Spiritual Guide Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche from his Faithful Disciples.
“You who take on the great responsibility of caring in every way for the doctrine and migrators,
Giving to everyone equally, without discrimination, the precious opportunity to accomplish one’s own purpose and the purpose of others;
O Guru Sumati Buddha Heruka,
Please remain at my heart forever,
So that all directions will be pervaded by your matchless, excellent deeds.”
Kadampa Meditation Centre Wellington will be hosting the above retreat starting Tuesday evening (20th September) and running Wednesday 21st September and Thursday 22nd September. Please click here for more information.
Meditation & Modern 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.
When the turbulence of distracting thoughts subsides and our mind becomes still, a deep happiness and contentment naturally arises from within.
— Geshe Kelsang Gyatso

Kadampa Meditation Centre Wellington
“The meditation classes at Kadampa Meditation Centre Wellington have taught me a lot about patience, kindness, true happiness and improving my mind.”
Meditation has changed my life. I am calmer, happier and more successful in everything I do. I would recommend Kadampa meditation practices to everyone.
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.
