A modern Kadampa Buddhist center in the heart of the city

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.
