Kadampa Meditationscenter Stockholm

Kadampa Meditationscenter Stockholm is a meditation centre in Vasastan offering instruction in meditation and Buddhist philosophy, rooted in the Kadampa tradition. The weekly programme covers a broad range of sessions: Morgonmeditation (07:00–07:30), Lunchmeditation (12:00–12:30), Lamrimmeditation, Kvällsmeditation, Lär dig meditera, Buddhistisk meditation, as well as the more structured Fördjupningsprogrammet and Lärarutbildningsprogrammet. In addition to the regular sessions, weekend courses, workshops and retreats are held – including a Vajrasattva reningsretreat and themed courses such as Att se våra mödrars vänlighet. Many sessions are also available in an online format.

The atmosphere is calm and welcoming, and no prior knowledge of Buddhism is required to participate. Teaching is instructor-led and draws on an unbroken tradition stretching back more than 2,500 years, giving the practice a clear grounding compared with more secular meditation formats. The centre is part of the international Kadampa network and also offers international festivals in England for those who wish to deepen their practice further.

Suitable for those seeking a regular meditation practice with philosophical depth, or for those who want to learn to meditate from scratch without any prior religious interest.
