I’ve been a member of KMC NYC for close to thirty years. It has been a joy to see its membership explode over this period, due to the clarity of the teachings and the warmth of the community. If you are looking for even a small measure of peace, I highly recommend any center of the New Kadampa Tradition, and this one in particular.
Kadampa is a great place where you meet mindful, interesting and warm people, and learn the foundations of meditation and modern Buddhism. The presentation of the teachings is accessible and applicable to modern life; it has significantly transformed the way I relate to relationships and difficulties at work and in my personal life. It helped me to view the world with an open heart and through different lenses, addressing existential questions we may ask ourselves, such as the meaning of our life, what is good and evil, and what is consciousness.
What an amazing space with amazing teachers! First time visiting and felt completely welcome and comfortable- no pressure to do anything but enjoy the teaching and enjoy a guided meditation. What a refuge for peace in NYC. I’ll be back!
This is my favorite place in all of NYC. There are classes available multiple time every day. Beginners as always welcome. If you are at all curious about meditation this is a great place to start. The classes are all very affordable.
I have been a part of this meditation center for over 20 years, and the journey has been nothing short of transformative. Initially, my curiosity led me here, but it quickly became a pivotal part of my life as I discovered practical ways to foster deep, lasting happiness—something so many of us unknowingly crave amidst the pursuit of fleeting joys. The center offers a wealth of resources—classes, guided meditations, retreats, special events, chanted prayers, and more, all designed to enrich the spiritual path. For those eager to delve deeper, the study programs provide profound insights, supported by an expansive network of regional, national, and global centers. Perhaps most unexpectedly, I found a community here. It’s a vibrant gathering of individuals united by shared values of compassion and self-improvement. The dedication of countless volunteers ensures this sanctuary remains a beacon of peace in NYC. I am immensely grateful for everything the center offers. It's a place I cannot imagine my life without, and I hope it continues to serve as a catalyst for peace for many generations to come.
