Preparations nearly complete – Summer Festival 2026
Jul 22, 2026
KMC Southampton is a wonderful example of a modern Kadampa Buddhist Temple in the heart of a city that demonstrates the power of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche's compassionate vision to bring pure Kadam Dharma directly to people where they live and work.
Converted from a commercial space, the center has a shop and cafe right on the street, which are very visible and inviting to anyone passing by.
The center offers a warm welcome to everyone, whether they are just dropping into the cafe and shop or attending a teaching or meditation in the peaceful meditation room.
Under the skilful guidance of the Resident Teacher, Gen Kelsang Lekma, the center is growing from strength to strength, offering a comprehensive range of classes and courses both within the city and in the surrounding towns.

The center just published a short video tour. Enjoy!
Behind the scenes, every corner of the Mother Centre is alive with joyful activity as everyone prepares to welcome visitors with warmth and care. All areas are working at full capacity, filled with a spirit of dedication and cheerful effort.
