Welcome to Ganden Kadampa Buddhist Centre Online
Along with many other institutions, Ganden KBC is unfortunately closed to the public for the foreseeable future.
However, the good news is that you will still be able to join in many of our activities online from this page.
Everyone can learn to meditate and experience the many and varied benefits that a peaceful, controlled mind brings.
Even a simple breathing meditation can be quite powerful. We can see from this practice that it is possible to experience inner peace and contentment just by controlling the mind, without having to depend at all upon external conditions.
When the turbulence of distracting thoughts subsides and our mind becomes still, a deep happiness and contentment naturally arises from within. This feeling of contentment and well-being helps us to cope with the busyness and difficulties of daily life.
So much of the stress and tension we normally experience comes from our mind, and many of the problems we experience, including ill health, are caused or aggravated by this stress. Just by doing breathing meditation for ten or fifteen minutes each day, we will be able to reduce this stress.
We will experience a calm, spacious feeling in the mind, and many of our usual problems will fall away. Difficult situations will become easier to deal with, we will naturally feel warm and well disposed towards other people, and our relationships with others will gradually improve.
Join us in the classes below to find out for yourself!
