Odiyana Kadampa Buddhist Center

I found the people at the center to be friendly and inviting. I started attending a few drop in classes and Sunday prayers for world peace not knowing what to expect. I found some calmness in the chaotic world that we find ourselves living in. It doesn't matter how I feel when I walk in but I always feel good when I am there. Best thing is you don't have to be a Buddhist to enjoy the peacefulness of meditation. Hope to see you there soon.

I have been coming to classes at Odiyana Center since January 2024, and I love that the Center provides a space to meditate and learn with others. I have found the teachings that are taught in the classes to be very practical - they have shifted many of my previous anxieties and negative thought patterns towards a more peaceful and optimistic outlook on life. I would highly recommend dropping into a class!

I’ve been taking the meditation classes for over a year and have benefitted greatly from them.

Such a wonderful community of kind hearted people. I'm so grateful to have been involved with Odiyana Center for the last year. It is also such a welcoming and peaceful environment to relax and do some contemplation and meditation.

This place has been such a blessing in my life! I've been attending classes there for many years. It is great being around other people who are interested in working on their mind. What brings me back most though is the teachings. They are so clear and they really work to change my mind from a negative to a positive state. The teachers always leave you with some practical advice to take off the cushion (or chair!) and apply to what ever life is currently throwing at you.

Meditation at Odiyana is one of the most important things that I look forward in the week. I happened to come across a drop-in class and have been coming here since September of 2021 every week. Whether you are new to meditation or doing it for a while, everyone is going to benefit from the teachings and mind calming techniques. Thanks to the Sangha!

Odiyana is a wonderful place to learn to meditate. I have been attending classes for quite some time now, and I can honestly say that I have been able to maintain a calmer mind in situations where I couldn't before. Thanks to Kadam Eve and the other meditation teachers there for their clear instructions that make Buddha's teachings accessible to our modern life.
