Drolma Kadampa Buddhist Center Miami

Specialties

We offer a weekly schedule of meditation classes, in-​depth Buddhist study, and group sessions of prayer and meditation. Our drop-​in classes are highly accessible for both Buddhists and non-​Buddhists alike, and include simple advice for daily life that is easy to apply for reducing stress and negativity. We offer Saturday afternoon workshops or retreats on at least a monthly basis, and most of our activities include vegetarian food and social time afterwards.

History

Established in 2013.

We opened our doors at the current location in November of 2013, after several years of offering weekly meditation classes around Miami at various nightly rental venues. Since opening, we have started offering classes and prayer services for adults and kids on Sunday mornings, have begun our monthly Saturday afternoon workshops and retreats, and have started including group sessions of self-​guided prayer and meditation to our practice schedule.
