Madhyamaka Kadampa Meditation Centre (KMC), is a special place of tranquility, rest and reflection. We are part of the New Kadampa Tradition, the International Kadampa Buddhist Union, and are home to an international Kadampa Buddhist community who share a wish to make their lives meaningful by finding lasting peace and happiness from within and helping others to do the same.

The Meditation Centre is open to the public and offers a variety of meditation classes, in depth Buddhist study programmes, day courses, and weekend meditation retreats that are suitable for beginners and more experienced meditators. For those attending our weekend courses, we also offer comfortable single, twin, and dormitory accommodation.
