Buddothpado International Meditation Center

Welcome
Experience true spiritual transformation, and find relief from stress, through authentic Buddhist philosophy and meditation in a sanctuary of peace.

Seekers are guided first through Samatha, then into Vidarshana and Vipassanā, toward liberation of mind. It is a path that bridges the Buddha's profound wisdom with modern understanding.

A reflection
To avoid all evil, to cultivate good, and to cleanse one's mind — this is the teaching of the Buddhas.
Sabbapāpassa akaraṇaṃ, kusalassa upasampadā, sacittapariyodapanaṃ — etaṃ buddhāna sāsanaṃ.
