When the turbulence of distracting thoughts subsides, and our mind becomes still,
a deep happiness and contentment naturally arises from within.

Love Without Pain

We all wish for good relationships in our lives, but relationships between couples, parents and children, or friends often suffer from misunderstandings and unrealistic expectations. We love each other, and yet we are not always happy together. Through meditation we can find ways of relating to others that make our relationships rewarding and harmonious, and we can break out of mental habit patterns that can sabotage them.

Sangha CommunityThe practice of timeless Buddhist wisdom in Palmerston North

Buddha’s most profound insight into the nature of the mind remains as revolutionary in our modern world as it was 2500 years ago: the mind is the source of all happiness and suffering. All of it.

At Amitabha Kadampa Buddhist Centre, this is what we learn - in a very practical way. So that through meditation, we can cultivate authentic happiness, and actualize our greatest potential, and help others do the same.

And we do it all right here in Palmerston North, thanks to the extraordinary teachings of our founder, Buddhist meditation master, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche.

Everyone is welcome! We do not discriminate based on race, gender, background, age, religion, politics, sexual orientation, or otherwise — everyone is always welcome at Amitabha Centre and other Kadampa Centres around the world.
