Services
Vajrapani Kadampa Buddhist Center provides a peaceful and relaxed environment where people can discover the benefits of meditation, mindfulness and modern Buddhist practice. We offer a variety of classes, workshops and events. The Buddhist meditation practices taught at our classes are suitable for all levels of interest or experience.
Classes are 1.5 hours and include two guided meditations, a talk on Buddhism for everyday living, and time for Q&A. Although classes are part series, each class is stand alone. Currently masks and social distancing are required at all of our classes for everyone's safety. You can drop-in for a class.
Currently masks and social distancing are required at all of our classes for everyone's safety. An understanding of our mind, its nature and functions, can be used practically in every day experience to improve our lives. By using these meditations we can keep a light, positive mind through recognizing and abandoning states of mind that harm us, and replacing them with peaceful and beneficial ones.
Currently masks and social distancing are required at all of our classes for everyone's safety. The meditations presented in the New Eight Steps to Happiness are clear methods, simply presented, for transforming all life's difficulties into valuable spiritual insights, for improving our relationships, and for bringing greater patience, empathy and compassion into our daily life.
Children will be gently guided in relaxing meditations, giving them techniques to gain confidence, focus and consideration for others. Parents or guardians are not required to stay on the class but they are invited and encouraged to if they'd like. However, we wanted to share some kids videos now, and in the future some zoom classes if there is interest.

This is honestly the only temple where I’ve attended, however it of course is a place where everyone is kind and loving. The teachings are full of wisdom and are taught with clarity and everyday practicality, and life long truths. There is some chanting at the beginning and the end, which at first (if you’re not used to it) can seem a bit strange, but every Sunday practice has at least one meditation along with the teaching. A wonderful place to practice.

Peaceful is the word that comes to mind each time I am headed to the center. I have gained knowledge in finding inner peace and happiness within myself and have been able to practice meditation. All are made to feel welcome here. Thank you for this experience, always.

Peaceful, healing energy. I took the 30 minute sunrise meditation with Jindak and it was the perfect way to start the day. I would recommend this class to anyone and everyone.

I came to interview Kelsang Gyudzhin about Buddhism for a research paper I was doing. The atmosphere was incredibly welcoming and peaceful. I appreciated my visit very much. Thank you!

Incredibly welcoming. Donations are suggested but not required. They sell plenty of books too if you'd like to learn more about Buddhism.
I have loved coming here for the meditating but most of all the teachings are very impactful and I'm thankful to be a part of this.
