Kadampa Meditation Center New York was opened in 2006 by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso granting Medicine Buddha Empowerment and giving teachings on Medicine Buddha. Medicine Buddha is the “Buddha Doctor”, and by relying on him we can bring healing to ourselves and others. For almost 20 years, Kadampa Meditation Center New York World Peace Temple has been a beacon of healing and inspiration throughout the local Catskills region, in the tri-state area, and throughout the country and world. We celebrate with a day retreat on Medicine Buddha practice, whose power and profundity is unsurpassed. Everyone welcome, no experience needed.
