By cultivating virtuous - or positive - minds - such as love, patience, compassion and wisdom - in meditation, we naturally begin to develop a light, happy mind that experiences worries, mental discomfort and anxiety less and less. Eventually, we will be able to stay happy all the time, even in the most difficult circumstances.

Buddhism teaches that to find lasting happiness and meaning in our lives we need to follow a spiritual path. To follow this path it is important to have a close connection with a qualified teacher who can give us personal advice and encouragement, to listen to pure Dharma teachings, and to belong to a strong spiritual community.

Absolutely love coming to the Kadampa Center for Sunday morning meditation. It is always enlightening and refreshing to hear Buddha's teachings translated to a modern context in such a welcoming environment. Their kid's meditation is also one of my favorite parts of coming here. Highly recommend stopping in if your are already a Buddhist or someone completely new to Buddhism and curious to learn more.

This Kadampa Meditation Center was created for the all of the people of Madison---"everyone welcome". This is clear when you enter its warm, friendly atmosphere. In addition, it is apparent that the teachers, staff, and volunteers genuinely care about the comfort and happiness of anyone who enters the center. Everyone in Madison should give it a try!

I'm so grateful for Kadampa Meditation Center Madison. It has positively impacted my life in ways I could not have imagined. Gen Gomlam, the Resident Teacher, is very relateable. Her practical teachings reflect a deep understanding of Buddha's teachings and the problems faced by modern people. I am continually learning and growing as a student and practitioner, and feel very supported and welcomed by Gen Gomlam and the people here.
