We found this community shortly after moving to New York a year ago. My partner and I had an interest in meditation, but had never been to a center before. We were looking to learn more and perhaps meet a few people in the process. We got more than we could’ve asked for. The community is warm (someone remembered our names every time we went back before being members) and the classes are both accessible to a beginner and chock full of learnings if you’ve heard similar topics before. We’ve been going to the center consistently for over a year now, and truly feel like we’ve found our second home in Brooklyn.

This is a lovely meditation center in Brooklyn. The space is welcoming and peaceful--a great place to engage in meditation and also get teachings on Buddhist meditation. I have really appreciated getting to know the community of meditators and teachers here. Definitely recommend for anyone looking to learn how to meditate or who is interested in taking their meditation practice deeper with a community.

I finally stepped into the center after having passed it many times & it has been a wonderful addition to my life. My meditation practice has improved dramatically...IOW, I am now sitting multiple times a day and finding some peace of mind.

And the community has been a welcome addition. Kind people. All walks of life. Dedicated to exploring Buddhism together. And most importantly, everyone is allowed to grow at their own pace.

I highly encourage stopping by for a general class. This place is a neighborhood gem!!

Quite simply, as I have written elsewhere, the best meditation center I have ever found. The teacher, Matthew, is extraordinary--so learned and so welcoming to everyone. There is so much knowledge about Buddhism and also practical "how to" on developing your own meditation practice. I also can't say enough good things about the warmth and depth of the community. Everyone comes from all walks and paths of life. This is the single best find I have discovered in Brooklyn and I am beyond grateful. It's a treat, a celebration of life, and amazing instruction in the Buddhist path. I recommend the center to anyone and everyone looking to find a quality, informed, and caring community. They are also welcoming to first-timers and anyone interested in sampling meditation and Buddhism. There is no pressure to adhere to any specific technique and everyone honestly cares about everyone else. Thank you for being a home!!

I have been putting off meditation for a very long time now - sure that it would help me but not sure where to start. When I looked up "Brooklyn Meditation", Vajradhara was of course the first to pop up and I'm so glad it did. I attended a number of one-off courses before committing to a membership and really loved the space, community, and energy that Kadam Kyle brings to the classes. I feel very supported, even as a beginner, and inspired to keep up the practice. Thank you to everything that the teachers, student volunteers, and fellow meditators do to make such a welcoming and open space to explore Buddhism and mindfulness!
