Avalokiteshvara Kadampa Buddhist Centre

Avalokiteshvara Kadampa Buddhist Centre (AKBC) was established by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso to bring meditation and modern Buddhism people in Southwestern Ontario. 

Kadampa Buddhists are people who take Buddha’s teaching as personal advice and put these teachings into practice.  This modern presentation from the Kadampa lineage is particularly suited to people of the modern world. By putting this advice into practice, we can solve our modern-day problems such as stress, anxiety, anger, and ill-health and develop lasting peace of mind.

We are a member of the New Kadampa Tradition – International Kadampa Buddhist Union (NKT-IKBU), a non-profit organisation with a global network of over 1,200 Centres and groups around the world.

We offer to in-person and livestream teachings, retreats and Buddhist study programs.
