Find a Class that's Right For You

We offer more than 30 classes each week, of which most are drop-in and perfect for all levels of practitioner.

A simple guided 30-minute meditatation is a great way to begin if you're looking to ease in to meditation. These are offered every weekday first thing in the morning and at lunchtime, as well as after-work, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday.

General Program classes (GPs) are our most popularly attended drop-in classes, and are offered every day of the week except Saturdays, both at our main Center in Chelsea and in branch class locations in various neighborhoods in the NYC area, including in Williamsburg, Harlem, and Jersey City.

Our Saturday program typically includes special one-off courses and retreats on particular Buddhist subjects. These are usually open to everyone. Check each event's page for details.

For those wishing to go deeper in their practice, we offer the Foundation Program and Teacher Training Program. Both require pre-enrollment and are commitment-based. Each program provides a systematic presentation of particular subjects of Mahayana Buddhism to enable practitioners to deepen their knowledge and experience of Buddhism.  FP class meets once-a-week class, TTP class, twice a week. Students who participate on TTP are training to become qualified Buddhist teachers and help flourish Kadampa Buddhism throughout the world. See our study programs page for more details.
