Kadampa Meditation Center

At Kadampa Meditation Center North Carolina, we are dedicated to bringing peace and happiness to the world through the methods of meditation and Modern Buddhism. Our aim is to teach people how to develop pure, positive states of mind, providing practical tools to transform the difficulties of everyday life into an opportunity for personal growth and transformation. We strive to inspire and empower individuals to reach their full spiritual potential, benefiting not only themselves but also their family, friends, and the world.

We offer classes in both Charlotte and Davidson, with additional locations in Asheville and Chapel Hill. This allows us to reach people throughout the state and provide them with the opportunity to learn about and practice Buddha's teachings. Our center is run primarily by volunteers, and all activities are dedicated to the development of peace throughout Charlotte and the surrounding areas.
