Welcome to Our Centre

Avalokiteshvara Kadampa Buddhist Centre (AKBC) offers meditation classes, in-depth study programs, chanted prayers, courses and retreats, offered in-person at our meditation centre in Guelph, Ontario. Our classes are open to everyone, regardless of background or previous experience. There is no need to register for our meditation classes. Just come along. Masks are optional.

We are currently offering two branch classes: Tuesday evenings in Kitchener and Thursday evenings in Georgetown. We will offer a special meditation class in London, Ontario in January and will look at continuing classes in London in 2023. These classes are drop-in and open to everyone. Keep updated on our upcoming classes by subscribing to our monthly newsletter or following us on Facebook.

Our Meditation Classes

Suitable for everyone, these drop-in meditation classes offer simple, practical methods to improve the quality of our lives and develop inner peace. Each class focuses on using Buddhist understanding to help us solve our daily problems, let go of negative minds and find the lasting happiness we seek.

Everyone is welcome at Avalokiteshvara Kadampa Buddhist Centre.
