Everyone has the wish to be happy and free from suffering all the time; and, each one of us has within us the natural capacity to experience authentic peace and lasting happiness.
Unfortunately, many people have not learned how to access this experience of true contentment and inner peace. Many people in our society have become accustomed to following habits of thinking that lead to mental stress and emotional pain, rather than confidence and joy. Thankfully, there are methods of internal development we can practice that actually have the power to produce happiness within our mind.
Everyone welcome – no experience necessary and you do not have to be Buddhist to attend.

Kadampa Meditation Center LA
Originally a church built in 1937, KMC Los Angeles offers prime visibility on a busy east-west thoroughfare in a popular, trendy section of LA. The Meditation Hall features 25-foot high, vaulted, original wood ceilings, stained glass and seating for 250 people, including a balcony area. There is a small house on the property with three residents, and the second floor of the Temple, behind the balcony, is currently being renovated to accommodate four more residents.
KMC Los Angeles is located in a beautiful, dynamic neighborhood, walking distance from cafes and coffee shops, hiking distance from Griffith Park Observatory, and a short drive to iconic beaches, scenic hikes and the famed Hollywood Boulevard.
Community Involvement
Everyone is welcome
Welcome to the Community
Community is important to us. The way of being at the Center exemplifies how Kadampa Buddhist practices and modern life go hand in hand. We integrate the teachings we receive into the activities and dialogue that make up our Center life. It feels simple, harmonious and easy to enjoy your inner and outer environment.
Our Founder and Spiritual Teacher Geshe Kelsang Gyatso often says, "everyone welcome!" Yes, everyone is welcome to join the Center, its classes, events and practices regardless of faith, ethnicity, gender and so on. We know that everyone benefits from Buddha's teachings and we're delighted to have our doors open to help make that happen.
Did you know that all our classes and events are run by a volunteer team of 60+?! Check out the video below:
