Kadampa Meditation Center welcomes everyone! We offer meditation and classes in Modern Buddhism. We offer meditation classes for all levels of experience.

Kadampa Meditation Center Madison is a friendly and welcoming place for everyone. Our class design always includes two guided meditations and a short talk or teaching on a topic suitable for busy, modern people. We also offer study programs for those interested in increasing their understanding and experience of Buddhist philosophy and practice. Our classes, day courses, study programs, chanted prayers and pujas offer a variety of events for everyone. You do not have to be a Buddhist to attend the classes, or benefit from the techniques taught. Our center is dedicated to helping everyone develop and maintain their own inner peace, which naturally reduces problems and eliminates stress. We have a resident teacher, Gen Kelsang Gomlam, who teaches most of the classes and leads the meditations. Kadampa Meditation Center Madison is a non-profit organization and a member of the New Kadampa Tradition-International Kadampa Buddhist Union (NKT-IKBU). We are open 30 minutes before and after every event. Please drop in! For more detailed information and downloadable calendars, please visit our website at www.meditationinmadison.org, or feel free to contact us via phone, email, or Facebook messaging.

✨ Compassion doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. It can be a source of joy. ✨

This Labor Day weekend, meditators from around the Midwest came together for a special retreat dedicated to developing compassion for all living beings. 🙏💛

In our society, we sometimes hear about “compassion fatigue”—the idea that caring deeply about the suffering of others can leave us feeling exhausted or overwhelmed.

But during this retreat, we explored a very different understanding of compassion. In Kadampa Buddhism, compassion is a beautiful and powerful mind that wishes to protect all living beings from suffering. Rather than making our mind heavy, genuine compassion can give our life greater meaning, purpose, and joy. 🌎✨
