History

Established in 1995.

We have been committed to bringing Buddha’s ancient wisdom to modern people for 15 years in San Diego. All of our drop-​in classes are geared for busy modern people. You do not need to be a Buddhist to enjoy and understand Buddha’s teachings — anyone can benefit from increased inner peace.

All classes are taught by our Resident Teacher or other experienced Kadampa teachers. Our Teachers are volunteers and freely offer their time. Our Sunday morning and Wednesday night classes include preliminary meditation to pacify distracting thoughts (10 minutes), a teaching based on ancient wisdom for modern times (30 – 40 minutes), an actual meditation that transforms our mind (15 minutes), and then time for discussion (5 – 10 minutes). The other classes are 30 – 45 minutes and focus on the preliminary meditation, a short talk to focus our minds in a beneficial way and a meditation.
