Akshobya Kadampa Buddhist Centre - Calgary
About Akshobya Kadampa Buddhist Centre
Everyone wants to be happy and free from problems and suffering, and Buddha’s methods for training the mind are the supreme way to accomplish this wish. Through increasing our capacity for loving kindness, developing wisdom, and training in meditation, everyone can live happier, more meaningful lives.
Geshe Kelsang’s presentation of Kadam Dharma is called “Modern Buddhism” because it is especially designed for the people of this modern world—it accords with peoples’ daily experience.
Everyone is welcome: Buddhist, aspiring Buddhist and non-Buddhist. Most of our General Program activities are offered on a drop-in basis and emphasize the integration of meditation and training the mind into our daily life. It is not necessary to abandon our particular lifestyle to put Buddhist methods into practice and change our lives for the better. Even putting the simplest of Buddha’s instructions into practice can bring great benefit to our lives, and so we offer these teachings freely and clearly.
At the same time, AKBC offers instruction and practice of the complete Buddhist path to enlightenment. Many people have become pure Kadampa Buddhist practitioners through studying and practicing at AKBC and other NKT Centres throughout the world.
Akshobya Kadampa Buddhist Centre hosts a variety of classes and events, including:

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I've been attending Akshobya Kadampa Buddhist Centre for 12-years and they've taught me how to meditate, control my mind and cultivate beautiful states of mind that help me be a better husband, father and professionally as a massage therapist! They offer a variety of programs for beginners and advanced alike, from retreats (both at the Centre or at peaceful locations in Bragg Creek) to evening drop-in classes and weekend workshops. Buddhist or non-Buddhist everyone is always welcome at AKBC :)

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I've been a member of the Centre for about 7 years and can highly recommend them. If you have always wanted to try meditation, this is the place. If you are an experienced meditator, this is also the place! The classes are suitable for all levels. The teachers explain Buddha's teachings and how they apply to all of us right now in our lives. So meaningful and so practical! Who DOESN'T want to have a happier, more peaceful mind?

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Meditation is hard! But what I love about the classes is that even long-time practitioners admit there are days when their minds cannot be stilled. There's a gentleness here that I appreciate. Just keep trying, they say. Don't beat yourself up when your mind is like a dog chasing cars. After almost two years, I can honestly say that I have improved. My mind is more peaceful, and I feel like I've become more compassionate. I'm grateful to the teachings and encouragement I receive here, and my attendance has increased with the Covid option of online classes. In short, I'm hooked.
