Kadampa Meditation Centre Leeds

Everybody Welcome

Kadampa Meditation Centre Leeds is a peaceful oasis located in the heart of the old city. Established in 2009 by the esteemed meditation master, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, the Centre has been running meditation classes, courses and retreats in Leeds for over 15 years. The Centre has become a haven for local people wishing to learn about meditation, volunteer and connect with a welcoming community. This uplifting City space, beside the corn exchange, offers a variety of events for all levels, based on timeless Buddhist teachings. You do not have to be a Buddhist to take part in our courses, retreats and events.

We teach meditation and offer practical advice to reduce stress and increase the experience of inner peace, well-being and happiness. Our teachings can easily be combined with a hectic everyday life.

In addition to meditation classes for all levels, we also have a World Peace Cafe and are open six days a week. You are welcome to drop in any time to explore our historic building and beautiful grand meditation room in one of the oldest buildings in Leeds.

“I LOVE this place, it keeps me sane in a world that seems to be going more and more mad. I usually pop to the lunchtime meditations, I sometimes go to evening and weekend events when I can make them. I always walk back out with a healthier and happier perspective on everything than when I went in!”
