About us
Nagarjuna Kadampa Meditation Centre, based in Leicester, is a special place of tranquility, relaxation, reflection and friendship. It is home to an international Kadampa Buddhist community who share a similar wish to make their lives meaningful by finding lasting peace and happiness from within and helping others to do the same.
Nagarjuna Leicester Kadampa Meditation Centre is open to the public and offers a variety of meditation classes from beginner’s classes on Monday evening to our in-depth classes; on Wednesdays, we also have lunchtime classes and regular monthly events.
There is something for everyone – for both beginners and more experienced meditators alike.
The Monday class is for those interested in experiencing the many benefits of meditation. They are designed to give a simple introduction to meditation practice enabling everyone to solve their daily problems, overcome stress and find real happiness.
Nagarjuna KMC is home to the popular vegetarian World Peace Café, open Mondays to Saturdays 10.30am – 4.00pm. The cafe will also be closed on the first Monday of each month.
The Centre is on Guildhall lane, (only two minutes walk from the Highcross shopping centre) directly at the rear of the cathedral, 10 metres from the Guildhall and 30 metres from the BBC Leicester building.
“Only by creating peace within our own minds and helping others to do the same can we hope to achieve peace in this world.”
Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
