Title
Kadampa Center - Raleigh, NC
Description
Kadampa Center for the Practice of Tibetan Buddhism was founded by Lama Thubten Zopa Rinpoche in 1992. The word "kadampa" refers to those who are able to see the Buddha's teachings as personal advice that applies immediately to their own lives.
We are a spiritual community committed to transforming the minds and lives of individuals and societies into the highest ideals of enlightened wisdom, compassion, and skillful action through the study and practice of Tibetan Buddhism in the Gelugpa tradition. We are part of the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition (FPMT), an international family of city and retreat centers, monasteries, publishing houses, hospices, and healing centers who share our purpose.
Under the guidance of our resident teacher, Geshe Gelek Chodak ("Geshe-la"), we offer a full range of programs that cover all aspects of the Buddhist path. Kadampa Center is part of the Gelugpa tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, famous for its emphasis upon deep understanding of Buddhist texts coupled with meditation practice. We host teachings by eminent Buddhist masters, offer courses for beginning and advanced students, and provide space for individual and group meditation. Here you will find the authentic teachings of the Buddha and a community supporting spiritual growth and practice.
