Opening a Door to Inner Peace
coming November 2021
Dear Friends,
We are very happy to let you know that Kadampa Meditation Center South Carolina will rent a new space in downtown Columbia! In November, we’ll open our doors at 2000 Park Street.
Our aim is to offer a place of refuge in the city where folks can develop and maintain peaceful minds through simple, practical meditation methods.
"Only by creating peace within our own mind and helping others to do the same can we hope to achieve peace in this world." -- Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche
Special Event
The Path to Heaven
The International Fall Festival 2021 will be held October 22-28.
At the Festival, Gen-la Kelsang Dekyong, Spiritual Director of NKT, will grant the empowerment of Buddha Green Tara and give teachings on The Path to Heaven, the transference of consciousness (powa) practice of Arya Tara.
These teachings are open to everyone from complete beginners to those with previous experience.

Practical Solutions
All living beings have the same basic wish to be happy and avoid suffering, but very few people understand the real causes of happiness and suffering. If we train in meditation, our mind will gradually become more and more peaceful, and we will experience a purer and purer form of happiness.
Basic Beliefs
Everybody needs to be good-natured with a good heart, because in this way we can solve our own problems as well as those of others, and we can make our human life meaningful.
