This is Modern Buddhism: The practice of timeless Buddhist wisdom in the heart of Sydney.

Buddha’s most profound insight into the nature of the mind remains as revolutionary in our modern world as it was 2,500 years ago – the mind is the source of all happiness and suffering.

At Kadampa Meditation Centre Sydney, this is what we learn in a very practical way. Through meditation we can cultivate authentic happiness, actualise our greatest potential, and help others to do the same.

Thanks to the extraordinary teachings of our founder, Buddhist meditation master, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche.

Everyone is always welcome at KMC Sydney. We do not discriminate based on race, gender, background, age, religion, politics, sexual orientation, or otherwise.
