Center for Modern Budhism

Prajnaparamita Buddhist Center in Santa Monica is the second Kadampa Buddhist Center in Los Angeles. Opened in 2006, its purpose is to provide a facility where the people of west Los Angeles can train in meditation and other practices of Kadampa Buddhism. The center offers a range of meditation classes, study programs, chanted meditations and weekend events. The classes combine guided meditation with practical advice on how to reduce stress and solve problems in daily life. Taught by Westerners, the meditation classes are very easy to understand and are suitable for both beginners as well as advanced meditation practitioners.

In addition, the center has a small bookshop with Buddhist pictures, statues, books, CD’s and much more.

The Power of Meditation

Meditating can help you:

  • Experience an inner calm and relax your body and mind
  • Deal with challenges in a positive way
  • Be wise when relationships rock, and then repair them

Meditation practice enables us to cultivate a special experience of lasting inner peace which causes harmony, happiness, and creates a feeling of deep well-being.

Kadampa Buddhism is a time-honored tradition that for centuries has made Buddha’s teachings and meditation practices available to people throughout the world.

“When the turbulence of distracting thoughts subsides and the mind becomes still, a deep happiness and contentment naturally arises from within” – Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
