A Kadampa Buddhist Center for the People of Lubbock and West Texas
Bodhichitta Kadampa Buddhist Center was established through the wishes of a dedicated community of Buddhist practitioners and other individuals who wish to provide opportunities for the people of Lubbock and West Texas to experience inner peace and spiritual development through study and meditation programs in Modern Buddhism.
People from all backgrounds come to find solutions for the challenges of busy, modern life and draw inspiration from Buddha’s teachings, the practice of meditation, and spiritual friendships.
Everyone is welcome and can benefit from meditation classes and other activities at our center. One does not have to be a Buddhist to benefit from the offerings at our center. We believe that no matter our background, beliefs, or experiences each and every one of us can improve ourselves for the benefit of our families, communities, and the world.
