Drolma Kadampa Buddhist Center Miami

A-​M-​A-​Z-​I-​N-​G! I am so happy I found this hidden gem. I had no idea where to go when I wanted to start studding Buddhism. From the moment I walked in I knew I had found the right place. Everyone is so kind, warm and welcoming. The classes have helped me in countless ways. I have made a bunch of new friends who share the same desire to learn and practice this deeper understanding of life. I highly recommend Drolma Kadampa Buddhist Center!

I have been attending this center since it opened in July 2013. Since the first day I attended, up until today, the teachings I have learned here have changed my life in many positive ways. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone seeking to find a deeper meaning and a general understanding of life.

Although I have been attending the Ft. Lauderdale branch of this center since around 2006, I just started attending the Coral Way location in 2015. The Miami branch is an amazing place to come for Buddhist studies, meditation, making new friends and nice vegetarian food. There is also a nice little shop inside selling books, statues, prayer beads and other Buddhist items. The teachers here are ordained Buddhist monks and nuns, who exude love and compassion and who truly try to help students live better lives. The main services at this branch are a general Buddhist study class with meditation on Monday nights at 7:30 PM and prayers for world peace and meditations on Sundays at 10:00 AM. Each session costs $ 10. Vegetarian food and tea and coffee are provided after services. On most Saturdays they offer half-​day guided retreats, also including vegetarian lunch. This place is great for newbies because everyone who I’ve encountered here is a humble seeker and learner. There are no self-​proclaimed experts. If you are looking for peace and happiness in a chaotic world or if you are just looking to deepen your spirituality, I highly recommend that you stop by for a class.

This beautiful meditation center, located near Coconut Grove, downtown Miami, and Coral Gables, offers a variety of meditation classes, retreats, and pujas for everyone from beginners to more seasoned practitioners. A warm, inviting place with an emphasis on the practical, day-​to-​day application of meditation and Buddhist practice.
