Kadampa Meditation Centre Wellington

Our mission is to provide opportunities for everyone to develop peaceful and loving minds through meditation.

Wellington

Kadampa Meditation Centre Wellington provides a peaceful and relaxed environment in which people can discover the benefits of meditation and modern Buddhism for themselves. We hold regular classes and courses in Wellington where anyone can experience the benefits of meditation and deepen their understanding of Buddha’s teachings.

Our mission is to provide opportunities for everyone to develop peaceful and loving minds through meditation retreats and classes on Kadampa Buddhism. As Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, founder of the New Kadampa Tradition, says:

"Only by creating peace within our own mind and helping others to do the same can we hope to achieve peace in this world."

This is our community service, giving people the means for developing inner peace.

Let's dream and let's make this dream come true 22 February 2023

After many years of renting and having to move from place to place we are again forced to move. Now is the time to purchase a property for a permanent new Centre. This will involve significant costs and it is only through the kind help and support of our community that we will be able to fulfill our vision of a new Centre.

Please help us in any way you can—donate, attend our fundraising meditation and banquet (https://meditateinwellington.org/events/banquet-fundraiser/), get in touch with us about helping out at the Centre, regularly or occasionally, or just share this with your friends and family.

Our Founder's heartfelt dedication is for each and every living being to find pure lasting happiness and we will not stop until we fulfill his beautiful vision. Let's dream and let's make this dream come true!
