Stephanie ShiuBrooklyn Kadampa Meditation Center is a peaceful, welcoming space that makes it easy to slow down and reconnect. The teachers are warm and approachable, offering clear guidance for both beginners and experienced meditators. Each class feels grounding and uplifting—I always leave lighter and more centered. A real gem in the city.

Susannah FritzechurchWe found this community shortly after moving to New York a year ago. My partner and I had an interest in meditation, but had never been to a center before. We were looking to learn more and perhaps meet a few people in the process. We got more than we could’ve asked for. The community is warm (someone remembered our names every time we went back before being members) and the classes are both accessible to a beginner and chock full of learnings if you’ve heard similar topics before. We’ve been going to the center consistently for over a year now, and truly feel like we’ve found our second home in Brooklyn.

Nate ShawI finally stepped into the center after having passed it many times & it has been a wonderful addition to my life. My meditation practice has improved dramatically...IOW, I am now sitting multiple times a day and finding some peace of mind. And the community has been a welcome addition. Kind people. All walks of life. Dedicated to exploring Buddhism together. And most importantly, everyone is allowed to grow at their own pace. I highly encourage stopping by for a general class. This place is a neighborhood gem!!
