WHO WE ARE Serlingpa Center is a Buddhist Meditation Center located in downtown New Bedford, Massachusetts. Serlingpa offers weekly classes, daily prayers with meditation,workshops, and retreats. Since Buddhist teachings and practices can be understood and applied by everyone, regardless of experience or religious background, anyone can find practical benefit at our classes, workshops, and events. In addition to a beautiful meditation room with a traditional shrine, we have a bookstore where you can find books and CDs covering every aspect of Buddhist meditation, from the most basic practices to the most profound. The Resident Teacher of Serlingpa Meditation Center is Kyle Davis, Buddhist teacher and practitioner for many years. Kyle is well known for his practicality, warmth, and clarity. The meditation classes we offer are suitable for all individuals whatever their level of interest, from those who seek simple relaxation and stress relief, to those who wish to learn about Modern Buddhism. Everyone is welcome regardless of belief; you do not need to be a Buddhist to attend. A typical class consists of a simple relaxation meditation, teaching, discussion and final meditation. The meditations are guided and are suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners alike. Each class is self-contained so feel free to start at any time. Everyone is welcome; just drop in! Most classes last an hour to an hour and a half. To ensure that everyone is comfortable you may sit in a chair, or on a cushion; these are available at the Center. There is no physical exercise, yoga, or stretching involved. After the class everyone is welcome to stay for socializing and refreshments.
