Kadampa Meditation Center Texas (KMC Texas) is a diverse, warm, and vibrant spiritual community. People from all backgrounds come to find solutions for the challenges of busy, modern life and draw inspiration from Buddha’s teachings, the practice of meditation, and spiritual friendships.

At KMC Texas, our strength is our faith – our faith in each other's essential goodness and compassion. Our strength is in our diversity and we are proud to reflect the many communities throughout the Metroplex. We believe that no matter our background, beliefs, or experiences, each and every one of us can improve ourselves for the benefit of our families, communities, and the world.

Join us in achieving inner peace and happiness through the practice of meditation and using Buddhist teachings in daily life. 

History

We were established in 1994 by the renowned Buddhist Master Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyasto Rinpoche. We moved to our current location in the Dallas West End in February 2017 after 10+ years in Arlington and in our previous locations of Irving and East Dallas.

KMC Texas is a part of the New Kadampa Tradition- International Kadampa Buddhist Union, which is a world-wide organization of Kadampa Buddhist meditation and study centers, temples, and retreats centers.

Many of our classes are drop-in meditation classes. No registration is required and everyone is welcome. These classes are perfect for beginners as well as those with more experience. They provide an introduction and ongoing  practice of meditation, mindfulness, and Buddhist teachings for daily life. 

Throughout the year, we also offer  Saturday and weekend courses as well as retreats. When we reduce our distractions and focus more deeply on spiritual teachings and meditation, even for one day, we begin to see how cultivating a more peaceful state of mind is possible.  

Our special events are a great way to meet other like-minded people and become connected to a spiritual community!

We also offer enrollment-based study programs for those wishing to go deeper into understanding and practicing Buddha's teachings. Open to all levels, these classes occur on a weekly basis and enrollment is required. 

Some classes have fees and some are by donation; however no one is ever turned away for lack of funds.  Just contact us if you have a financial hardship.
