“Finding Happiness from Another Source”
True happiness arises from a peaceful, contented mind and everyone can find this through meditation. Meditation is easy, but most people try too hard. Everyone can learn how to meditate! With deeper and deeper meditation we shall discover that all the happiness that we ever wished for can be found within our own mind.

You don’t need to become a Buddhist to benefit from our programs! Modern Kadampa Buddhism can be easily integrated into daily life in today’s world.
We offer drop-in classes in Buddhism and meditation in Calgary and Southern Alberta.
