A different topic, or series, is taught every few weeks. See below for topics and dates.

Class Format

Each class begins with a simple guided meditation to make the mind peaceful and let go of distractions.

Free for Class Members. You must be a member to receive access to online classes. Please see below for how to sign up and request access.

Topics & Dates

Happiness and suffering are feelings – parts of our mind – and so their main causes are not to be found outside the mind. In this series we will gain a deep insight into our mind and discover how an understanding of its nature and functions can be used practically in everyday experience to improve our lives.
Learn how to be happy and content in our modern ever-changing lives. Discover that difficult people and situations have no real power to cause us problems, but can even help us develop real peace of mind.
Online access

Online access to our classes is only available for monthly members living in the Greater Wellington region. To receive online access, please sign up for a membership, create an account if you don't already have one, and then contact the Education Programme Coordinator to request online access.

Kadampa Meditation Centre Wellington has been relocated to Khandallah, in a tranquil and lush location yet close to public transport and parking. Our new address is 2 Ardross Avenue.

Check out our Contact page for directions on how to get to the Centre including public transport.

We are currently looking for a new location for our Centre. There are a multitude of possibilities for what our future Centre will look like and where it will be located, and we would love your guidance to find the solution that best serves the needs and wishes of our community and of Wellington as a whole.

Please take a few minutes to answer 10 simple questions that will help us understand what you expect of our future Centre and let us know if you would like to be involved with making this dream a reality.
