Nonprofit Overview
Mission: Vajradhara Center is part of an international spiritual community, dedicated to achieving world peace through following the Buddhist path. It has arisen from the pure intention and vision of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, Founder of the New Kadampa Tradition – International Kadampa Buddhist Union (NKT-IKBU). We provide a variety of weekly courses and other events suited to different levels of interest and experience. No prior experience in Meditation or Buddhism is necessary. There are no sign-ups or commitments for our drop-in classes. If you wish to deepen your experience then you may consider joining the Foundation Program (FP). People from all faiths and all walks of life can benefit greatly by incorporating regular meditation practices into their daily lives. Everyone is welcome!
Results: The Vajradhara Buddhist Center has successfully been at this location since 2008. Each year we have added classes and outreach activities related to both meditation and Buddhist philosophy at the request of the community, local schools, and universities and colleges. We have students from the local world religions classes visit on a regular basis.
