For many people, the tendency in the mind for negativity and suffering is strong while the tendency for peace and happiness is weak. Through training in the techniques taught by Buddha, this situation can be reversed. By developing a regular practice of meditation and mindfulness, the mind can be brought under control so that it functions to make us happy instead of suffering.

Friendly/open. Mid day sits. Nice gift shop and seating area are just a nice quiet place to be and sip your own coffee, get a few minutes of quiet or conversation. Meditation hall is also open for sitting.

An amazing place to go to learn how to meditate. I felt welcome from the moment I walked through the door. The volunteers and teachers only wanted one thing, for me to leave more settled and at peace than when I came it. The shrine is simply amazing and beautiful.

The meditation retreat that the center hosted this year in Flagstaff was well organized and provided excellent instruction. The retreat gave me the opportunity to learn more about traditional meditation practices and meet a nice group of meditators. I definently recommend trying out a class.

I have been going to the Kadampa Mediation Center for about 3 years. I started taking my 4 year old son to the kids meditation classes and it has done no less than transform our lives. We are truly grateful for the kindness of all the people we see there.

Phenomenal meditation center. The people who run Kadampa Meditation Center New Mexico are so lovely, friendly and genuinly using meditation to change their own lives and help others. I attended the Southwest Dharma Celebration this weekend and the meditation guidance and practical advice for living a happy life were unbelievably helpful. The main teacher is so friendly and approachable, and the community welcoming and respectful. The building itself is a very beautiful place with modern Buddhist paintings and exquisite guilded statues as the central focus inside the meditation room. The tea room
