Welcome to Our Centre
Avalokiteshvara Kadampa Buddhist Centre (AKBC) is a member of the New Kadampa Tradition – International Kadampa Buddhist Union (NKT – IKBU).
We offer 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. Through applying meditation and through contemplating the ancient wisdom of Buddha, Kadampa Buddhism offers a method for everyone to establish inner peace in modern busy lives. There is no need to register for our meditation classes. Just come along. These classes are drop-in and open to everyone.
From September we will be offering branch classes Tuesday evenings in Kitchener, Thursday evenings in Georgetown, Wednesday mornings in Fergus, and monthly Saturdays in London. Stay tuned for upcoming classes in Stratford. Keep updated on our upcoming classes by subscribing to our monthly newsletter or following us on Facebook.
