Meditate In Orange County

12/07/2025

Thank you Gen-la Jampa and Kadampa Meditation Center Los Angeles for the beautiful Vajrasattva empowerment today! Gen-la Jampa helped us better understand the practice of Solitary Vajrasattva and talked about the incredible benefits of taking refuge in him, and how to visualize the purification of our body, speech, and mind. Guru Vajrasattva pervades all space. When we finally purify all of our obstructions, we will see his emanations everywhere…

New Meditation Series - Thursdays 7-8:30 pm! We tend to look for happiness outside ourselves, thinking that if we arrange everything perfectly, we would be truly happy.

We could change our home or our partner countless times, but until we change our restless, discontented mind, we will never find real happiness. It is time we sought happiness from a different source. Happiness is a part of the mind, so the real source of happiness must lie within us.

Learn the true source of happiness within our own peaceful mind through the practice of Buddhist meditation.

The Power of a Calm Mind: The Science of Inner Peace

In a world where stress, anxiety, and uncertainty seem constant, finding peace and clarity can feel out of reach. Using Buddha’s ancient wisdom we can discover methods to develop real happiness and inner calm—through learning to control and transform our own mind.

In this special talk, Gen Demo will guide us on how to practically apply Buddha’s mind training techniques in daily life. Discover powerful tools to handle life’s challenges with clarity, confidence, and a calm mind. This talk is for anyone seeking to find greater meaning and joy in everyday life.

All are welcome to attend regardless of experience or beliefs.
