Kadampa Meditation Center LA

Carol Morrison

The people are kind, and the monk who teaches the classes, Gen Rigpa, makes the lessons understandable and helpful. The Kadampa Meditation Center is an oasis of peace in the middle of LA.

This temple has brought me acceptance, love, compassion and motivation to help others. I cannot imagine my life now without Dharma, and everyone at KMC made it all possible for me. The amount of gratitude I have placed in my heart can only grow towards the healing path of enlightenment.

Kathia Rabelo

I have been coming to KMC Hollywood for 22 years and what I've learned here changed my life. I have learned to develop habits of inner peace and how to improve my relationships. Through these profound and practical teachings, gradually my views and intentions were transformed and I found the real meaning of my life! I also love being apart of this community, they are like family to me. I cannot imagine my life without Kadampa Buddhism!

Sandra Merrill

This is an oasis in the middle of Los Angeles for finding inner peace. I started by coming to the lunch time meditations, and everyone I met was very friendly and helpful. Gradually, I started coming to the General Program classes, pujas (chanted prayers) and eventually joined Foundation Program for more intensive study and meditation. You can take your meditation practice to whatever level you want, and there is never any pressure (other than people genuinely being happy to see you)!
