Find out more about Buddhism
Buddha, a teacher, meditation master, and Spiritual Guide, lived and taught 2,600 years ago in a region of our world that is now part of modern-day Nepal and India. The name Buddha means
"Awakened One" or enlightened being.
​As Kadampa Buddhists, we believe we all have the seeds of enlightenment within us, and the purpose of these teachings and practices is to help us develop the same enlightened qualities of love, compassion, patience, and wisdom for ourselves, and in this way bring real peace and harmony to the world.

What to Expect at a KMC NC Meditation Class or Retreat
​
About the classes
The meditation classes and events explain Buddhist meditation, ideas, and practice. They combine guided
meditation with practical spiritual advice that you can apply immediately to relieve stress and solve problems
in your life.
​
Everyone is welcome
The classes are suitable for both beginners and experienced meditators. The classes are easy to follow and do not need prior knowledge or experience. You do not need to be a Buddhist to attend or to benefit from the techniques taught. We generally sit on chairs to ensure everyone is comfortable, but there are cushions on the floor if you prefer.
​
Retreats and Day Courses
The structure of these events is similar to that of the weekly classes, with two or more sessions of teaching
and meditation with breaks in between.
