The Kadampa Meditation Center North Carolina (KMC NC) teaches Meditation and Buddhist practices to help everyone solve their daily problems and cultivate inner peace.

No prior experience in Meditation or Buddhism is necessary. There are no sign-ups or commitments for our drop-in classes. People from all faiths and all walks of life can benefit greatly by incorporating regular meditation practices into their daily lives. Everyone is welcome! Classes at KMC NC Kadamapa Meditation Center NC is an “oasis of peace” in this busy financial city of Charlotte. People say that when they walk into the meditation room for a class or prayer session they experience a deep sense of inner peace. Each drop-in class begins with a short guided prayer that encapsulates the essence of Buddhist practice. This is followed by a short and simple guided breathing meditation that creates a feeling of inner calm and contentment. Then the teacher gives a short talk on an aspect of Buddhist view that helps to change the way we think about our self and our experiences, and shows how we can solve our human problems. The class concludes with a longer guided meditation based on the content of the teaching to enable the students to its meaning into their hearts. Often students stay after class to ask questions, engage in conversation with other class members and the teacher, or to browse the book and gift store.
